Capacitance: Measuring capacitance, Self-capacitance & Mutual capacitance

Capacitance is the ability of an object to store electric charge. It is measured by the change in charge in response to a difference in electric potential, expressed as the ratio of those quantities. Commonly recognized are two closely related notions of capacitance: self-capacitance and mutual capacitance. An object that can be electrically charged…
