Definition of "capacitance" |
The ability of a system of electrical conductors and insulators to store electric charge when a potential difference exists between the conductors. It is expressed as a ratio of the electrical charge stored to the voltage across the conductors. [Unit: farad or F] / Capacitance, dictates the amount of charge that can be stored at a given voltage. / Capacitance is the ability of a body to store an electrical charge. Any object that can be electrically charged exhibits capacitance. A common form of energy storage device is a parallel-plate capacitor. / Ladder topology, often called Cauer topology after Wilhelm Cauer inventor of the elliptical filter, was in fact first used by George Campbell inventor of the constant k filter. ampbell published in 1922 but had clearly been using the topology for some time before this. Cauer first picked up on ladders published in 1926 inspired by the work of Foster in 1924. There are two forms of basic ladder topologies; unbalanced and balanced. Cauer topology is usually thought of as an unbalanced ladder topology. / the measure of the electrical size of a capacitor, in units of farads. Thus a capacitor with a large capacitance stores more electrons (coulombs of charge) at a given voltage than one with a smaller capacitance. |
