Capacitance
The ability of a system to store charge per unit voltage, often measured in farads. Potential Energy
Energy stored in a capacitor due to the separation of charges between its plates. Energy Density
Energy stored per unit volume in a capacitor, calculated as potential energy divided by volume. Electric Field
A field around charged particles that exerts force on other charges, related to energy density in capacitors. Permittivity of Free Space
A constant denoted as epsilon naught, representing the ability of a vacuum to permit electric field lines. Parallel Plate Capacitor
A capacitor consisting of two parallel conductive plates separated by a dielectric material. Charge
The quantity of unbalanced electricity in a body, measured in coulombs. Voltage
The electric potential difference between two points, driving charge flow in a circuit. Volume
The space occupied by the electric field between capacitor plates, calculated as area times separation distance. Area
The surface size of the capacitor plates, affecting capacitance and energy storage. Separation Distance
The distance between the plates of a capacitor, influencing capacitance and electric field strength. Joules
The unit of energy, used to measure the potential energy stored in a capacitor. Newton per Coulomb
The unit of electric field strength, indicating force per unit charge. Millijoules
A subunit of energy, equal to one-thousandth of a joule, used in energy density calculations. Cubic Centimeter
A unit of volume, often used in energy density calculations for capacitors.
