8.2: Capacitors and Capacitance - Physics LibreTexts
The capacitance C of a capacitor is defined as the ratio of the maximum charge Q that can be stored in a capacitor to the applied voltage V across its plates. In other words, capacitance is the largest amount of charge per volt that can be stored on the device: (8.2.1) C = Q V

What is Capacitance - Definition, Formula, and Example - Matmake
Capacitance is a measure of an object’s ability to store electrical charge when a potential difference (voltage) is applied across it. It is defined as the ratio between the amount of energy stored in an object and the amount of charge applied to it.

What Is Capacitance? Storing Energy in a Circuit
At its core, capacitance is the ability of a system to store electric charge. Just as a water tank stores water to be used when needed, a capacitor stores electric energy in the form of an electric field.

Electrical Capacitance: Definition, Units, Formula, and Symbols
Capacitance is the ability of a system to store electric charge when a voltage is applied across two conductive surfaces. Typically, these surfaces are metal plates separated by an insulating material called a dielectric.
