Definitions of capacitance
  1. noun
    an electrical phenomenon whereby an electric charge is stored
  2. noun
    an electrical device characterized by its capacity to store an electric charge
Definition that contains capacitance
  • f the capacitance of a capacitor that has an equal and opposite charge of 1 coulomb on each plate and a voltage difference of 1 volt between the plates
  • trimmer capacitor having variable capacitance; used for making fine adjustments
  • resonator an electrical circuit that combines capacitance and inductance in such a way that a periodic electric oscillation will reach maximum amplitude
  • farad the capacitance of a capacitor that has an equal and opposite charge of 1 coulomb on each plate and a voltage difference of 1 volt between the plates
  • transposition (electricity) a rearrangement of the relative positions of power lines in order to minimize the effects of mutual capacitance and inductance
  • resonant circuit an electrical circuit that combines capacitance and inductance in such a way that a periodic electric oscillation will reach maximum amplitude
  • reactance opposition to the flow of electric current resulting from inductance and capacitance (rather than resistance)
  • capacitive of or relating to capacitance
  • elastance unit the reciprocal of capacitance
  • trimming capacitor capacitor having variable capacitance; used for making fine adjustments
