I'm not going to give you the mathematical description, just the general description. A capacitor is designed so that it can absorb a certain amount of electricity, in the way a sponge can absorb water. The specific amount that it can absorb is called its capacitance. This is a variation of the word capacity.
Capacitor voltage
A: Both nomenclature are indicator of capacitance it can be used both ways. However the predominate usage is capacitor since it resemble capacitance
A capacitor resists a change in voltage, proportional to current, and inversely proportional to capacitance. The equation of a capacitor is dv/dt = i/c.
The equivalent capacitance of a 30uF capacitor in parallel with a 20uF capacitor is 50uF.
Not much if it is a fixed capaitor. If it is a variable capacitor, rotating the shaft to mesh the two sets of plates more closely will increase the capacitance.
Capacitor is the name of the device and capacitance is a measure of farads in the capacitor. Capacitance is the capacity for storing charge in the capacitor as measured in farads, micro farads or millifarads.
capacitance will tend to zero
That term to me is incorrect it should be capacitance impedance. Resistance is linear impedance. CAPACITANCE will follow a vector caused by the capacitor value.
The capacitor is an electronic device. Capacitance is the energy stored within this device.
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 voltage
ratio of capacitance of capacitor is given by charge\potential
The reactance of a capacitor is a function of -- the capacitance of the capacitor -- the frequency of the voltage across the capacitor
