The unit of capacitance is the farad. One farad requires one ampere to sustain one volt per second...
dv/dt = i/c
...where volts per second is proportional to current in amperes and inversely proportional to capacitance in farads.

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
Conclusion for capacitance and capacitive reactance?
Capacitance is the capacity to store electric charges, usually a small amount of it, in a capacitor.Capacitive reactance is the reactance associated with a capacitor. Reactance is something that opposes the flow of current, in an AC circuit - but, unlike resistance, DOES NOT convert electrical energy into heat.
Electrical resistance is a property of conductors that is measured in units of?
Ohm
What is the type of capacitance effect exhibited in P-N junction when it is reverse biased?
1. Transition capacitance 2. Diffusion capacitance 3. Space charge capacitance 4. Drift capacitance
Capacitors are measured in what units?
The standard unit of capacitance is Farad which indicates the ability of the capacitor to hold an electric charge. Most capacitor values we encounter in households electronics or computers are expressed in farads, microfarads (µF) which is 10 to power of -6 and nanofarads (nF) 10 to power of minus 9.
Reciprocal of capacitance?
Electrical Elastance
What is the dimension of conductivity?
The SI units of electrical conductivity (electrical conductance per metre) are Siemens per metre Sm-1. These units can be expressed in a number of other ways, for example: as AV-1m-1 or C2s kg -1m-3.
What is the opposite of capacitance?
The reciprocal of capacitance is called electrical elastance, the (non-standard, non-SI) unit of which is the daraf.
What is the word for the ability of a component to hold an electrical charge?
Capacitance.

What is the reciprocal of capacitance?
How funny... Electrical Elastance measured in daraf's
What is the unit of electrical capacitance?
The unit of electrical capacitance is Farad (F) named after Michal Faraday. A farad is the charge in coulombs a capacitor will accept for the potential across it to change 1 volt. A coulomb is 1 ampere second.
Capacitance is the property of an electrical circuit that?
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.
What is capacitance?
Theoretically, Capacitance is defined as the ability of a component or circuit to collect and store energy in the form of an electrical charge. Mathematically, it is defined as the ratio of the change in an electric charge in a system to the corresponding change in its electric potential.
Why transition capacitance called so?
Transition capacitance is the capacitance that is accumulated between two terminals as an electrical charge is carried between them. In a diode, this is the diffusion from anode to cathode of a diode in forward bias mode.
What are the units for an electrical current?
ampere
What The electrical measured is in what units?
Ampere?
