Electrostatic capacitance: This is the capacity of a conductor to store charge on it.
Geometric capacitance: This type of capacitance is determined by the geometry of the conductor or the capacitor plates.
Distributed capacitance: It is the capacitance of a distributed network of capacitors in a transmission line.
Stray capacitance: This is the unwanted capacitance that is present due to parasitic coupling between conductors.
Mutual capacitance: It is the capacitance between two conductors that are separated by a dielectric medium.
Self-capacitance: It is the capacitance between two parts of a conductor or between a conductor and a ground.
Dielectric polarization: It is the movement of electrons in a dielectric material in the presence of an electric field.
Dielectric relaxation: It is the rate at which a dielectric material regains its original polarization after an electric field is removed.
Dielectric dispersion: It is the variation of the dielectric constant with frequency.
Dielectric hysteresis: It is the energy loss that occurs when a dielectric material is subjected to a varying electric field.
Dielectric breakdown: It is the phenomenon of an insulating material becoming conducting when the electric field exceeds a certain value.
Dielectric strength: It is the maximum electric field that a dielectric material can withstand without breaking down.
Dielectric constant: It is the ratio of the capacitance of a capacitor with a dielectric material to that of the same capacitor without the dielectric material.
Dielectric loss: It is the energy dissipation per cycle per unit volume of a dielectric material due to its polarizability.
Dielectric thickness: It is the distance between the plates of a capacitor filled with a dielectric material.
Dielectric interface: It is the interface between a dielectric material and a conducting material.
Dielectric temperature coefficient: It is the change in the dielectric constant with temperature.
"It is measured by the charge in response to a difference in electric potential, expressed as the ratio of those quantities."
"Commonly recognized are two closely related notions of capacitance: self capacitance and mutual capacitance."
"An object that can be electrically charged exhibits self capacitance, for which the electric potential is measured between the object and ground."
"Mutual capacitance is measured between two components, and is particularly important in the operation of the capacitor."
"The capacitance between two conductors is a function only of the geometry; the opposing surface area of the conductors and the distance between them, and the permittivity of any dielectric material between them."
"For many dielectric materials, the permittivity, and thus the capacitance, is independent of the potential difference between the conductors and the total charge on them."
"The SI unit of capacitance is the farad (symbol: F)."
"The farad is named after the English physicist Michael Faraday."
"A 1 farad capacitor, when charged with 1 coulomb of electrical charge, has a potential difference of 1 volt between its plates."
"The reciprocal of capacitance is called elastance."
