Capacitance measures an electrical component's ability to store charge. It's defined as the ratio of stored charge to the applied voltage, determining how much electrical energy a capacitor can hold.

公式

The calculator uses C = ε × A / d to find capacitance in farads
C
ε × A / d to find capacitance in farads — ε × A / d to find capacitance in farads
A
A value — Variable used in the calculation

ステップバイステップガイド

C ≈ 88.5 pF
Using air dielectric

避けるべきよくある間違い

  • Mixing unit systems (cm vs m) in plate area and separation calculations
  • Forgetting that capacitors block DC current in steady state

よくある質問

What does increasing plate area do?

Larger plate area increases capacitance because it provides more surface for charge storage.

How does the dielectric material affect capacitance?

A dielectric's permittivity increases capacitance; materials like ceramic or plastic enhance charge storage compared to air.
