Capacitance is the ability of a body to store an electricalcharge. Any object that can be electrically charged exhibits capacitance. A common form of energy storage device is a parallel-platecapacitor. In a parallel plate capacitor, capacitance is directly proportional to the surface area of the conductor plates and inversely proportional to the separation distance between the plates. If the charges on the plates are +q and −q, andV gives the voltage between the plates, then the capacitance C is given by

Does capacitance exist between two thin current-carrying conductors Explain?
The conductors of the transmission line act as a parallel plate of the capacitor and the air is just like the dielectric medium between them.A capacitor is a device used to store electrical charge and electrical energy.
What is the difference between capacitor and conductor?
A conductor is a material that possesses free charge carriers capable of transferring an electrical charge. A capacitor is a discrete device in which two conducting plates sandwich an electrolytic wafer. The purpose of a capacitor is to store a charge for a finite amount of time.
What is the function of a capacitor in a washing machine?
The function of a capacitor in a washing machine is to store a charge. This charge is what starts the washer.
What factors determine the magnitude of the electrical force between two particles?
-- The product of the electric charges on both particles.-- The distance between the centers of charge on both particles.-- The electrostatic permittivity of the space between themor of the substance in that space.
Does an electric capacitor store electric charge?
Capacitors store energy in the electric field between their plates. They do not store charge, the net value of which is the same after, as before, charging (they do, however, separate charge).
An air-filled parallel-plate capacitor is connected to a battery and allowed to charge up Now a slab of dielectric material is placed between the plates of the capacitor while the capacitor is still?
the charge on the capacitor had increased.
Charge buildup between the plates of a capacitor stops when?
Charge buildup between the plates of a capacitor stops when the current flow through the capacitor goes to zero.
Which electronic component can store a charge?
A parallel plate capacitor is an electrical component which can store charge. The charge is stored according to the equation: qo = q(1-e-t/RC) [in a charginr circuit.]

Can a capacitor be gradually charged by lesser capacitors?
A: SURE capacitors in parallel will share the charge. But don't expect a .0001 mfd capacitor to charge a 1000 mfd capacitor. It just does not have the power stored to effectively charge the 1000 mfd. EXAMPLE 1litter of water cannot fill up a 5 litter container
On what factors capacitance of a capacitor depends on?
The job of a capacitor is to store charge onto its plates. The amount of electrical charge that a capacitor can store on its plates is known as its Capacitance value and depends upon three main factors.The surface area, A of the two conductive plates which make up the capacitor, the larger the area the greater the capacitance.The distance, d between the two plates, the smaller the distance the greater the capacitance.The type of material which separates the two plates called the "dielectric", the higher the permittivity of the dielectric the greater the capacitance.
If you take out the battery in a capacitor before inserting a dielectric will there still be charge on the dielectric?
The charge in a capacitor is between the plates. The dielectric is only an insulator that allows the plates to be very close without touching and discharging the charge. There is no battery in a capacitor.
What is the difference between capacitor and capacitance?
A capacitor is a device that stores an electrical charge, or if you prefer- resists any change in voltage applied to it. Capacitance is a measure of the size or ability of a capacitor to do that. This is the Farad
Capacitor not charge?
If a capacitor will not charge, it is open, i.e. damaged.
Why does a capacitor keep its charge after the supply is disconnected?
Yes, it can. Then you can use the charge to power something else. :)
What is the difference between capacitor and conductor?
A conductor is a material that possesses free charge carriers capable of transferring an electrical charge. A capacitor is a discrete device in which two conducting plates sandwich an electrolytic wafer. The purpose of a capacitor is to store a charge for a finite amount of time.
What is the net charge on the charged capacitor?
there is no net charge on the capacitor because nomber of positive and negative charge and negetive are equal.
