In the topic current we learnt of the unit of measuring electrical quantity or charge was a coulomb. Now a capacitor (formerly condenser) has the ability to hold a charge of electrons. ... The number of electrons it can hold under a given electrical pressure (voltage) is called its capacitance or capacity.

While the properties of a capacitor have many useful purposes, capacitance can be an annoyance. ... In capacitance instruments, capacitance is put to a useful purpose. If we keep V and F constant from a regulated circuit, then we have a situation dependent on KA/D. Keeping any two constant, we can measure the third.
