When a charge is delivered to a conductor its potential is raised in proportion to the quantity of charge given to it. At a particular potential a conductor can hold a given amount of charge. Capacitance is the term to indicate the limited ability to hold charge by a conductor. Let charge given to a conductor be = q Let V be the potential to which it is raised. Then q α V, or q = CV C is constant for a conductor depending upon its shape size and surrounding medium. This constant is called capacitance of a conductor. electrical-engineering-portal/ capacitor-banks-in-power-system-part-one Capacitor Banks In Power System electrical-engineering-portal
