- A capacitor is a circuit element that
- functions to store charge. The charge a
- capacitor stores is proportional to the
- potential across it. This relationship is
- expressed as

- where C is the capacitance of the
- capacitor. From Equation 1, it is clear
- that the units of capacitance equal
- coulombs/volt, or Farads which has (F)
