Solution

Capacitance of a capacitor is the measure of its ability to store charge.

Capacitance quantifies how much electric charge a capacitor can store per unit voltage across its plates. It is defined mathematically as: C=QV C = \frac{Q}{V} where CC is the capacitance, QQ is the charge stored, and VV is the voltage across the capacitor. Capacitance is typically expressed in farads (F). Therefore, the primary function of a capacitor is to store electrical energy in the form of an electric field, making it an essential component in various electronic circuits.
