capacitance
IPA: kʌpˈæsʌtʌns
noun
- (physics, uncountable) The property of an electric circuit or its element that permits it to store charge, defined as the ratio of stored charge to potential over that element or circuit (Q/V); SI unit: farad (F).
- (physics, countable) An element of an electrical circuit exhibiting capacitance.

Examples of "capacitance" in Sentences
- D4 2nd stage is only slightly longer and has a delta P ducer to establish hydrogen level rather than a capacitance probe in the tank.
- Software of chip makers is not like firefox in a way that you just use it, but these software contains confidential parameters of the chips such as capacitance, voltage, design of the pins, package, heat flow, ...
- I tried fashioning my own stylus for the iPod Touch a while back and due to the capacitance screen, I had to have a piece of aluminium foil running down the side of my pen that linked the tip to my fingers for the capacitance to work.
- Of the available on-line biomass assays, the radio-frequency impedance method (often referred to as capacitance) is generally regarded as the most robust and reliable method to monitor viable biomass during fermentation and cell culture.
- This does not break any existing scientific principles: When the "capacitance" of the electrodes are exceeded, there is a large release of energy similar to an over-voltaged electroytic "cap" in a circuit exploding much like a firecracker.
