FranA capacitor is a device that stores electrical energy in an electric field between two conductive plates. Capacitance is a measure of a capacitor's ability to store charge per unit voltage. In other words, capacitance is the property that describes how much charge a capacitor can store for a given voltage.

How is the change of potential difference across the capacitor determined?
The change in potential difference across a capacitor is determined by the amount of charge stored on the capacitor and the capacitance of the capacitor. The relationship is given by V = Q/C, where V is the potential difference, Q is the charge stored on the capacitor, and C is the capacitance.
What happens to a capacitance if the plates have a charge that is doubled?
If the charge on the plates of a capacitor is doubled, the capacitance remains the same. However, the voltage across the capacitor will double, as given by the equation Q = CV, where Q is the charge, C is the capacitance, and V is the voltage.
What is D in capacitance measurement?
You think probable to the distance between the plates of the capacitor.
How many volts can a capacitor hold. what would be the formula for a capacitor that holds 100 volts?
The voltage a capacitor can hold is determined by its capacitance, which is measured in farads. The formula relating voltage (V), capacitance (C), and charge (Q) is V = Q/C. To determine the capacitance needed for a capacitor to hold 100 volts, you would rearrange the formula to be C = Q/V, so with Q being a value assigned to the amount of charge you'd like the capacitor to hold (e.g. in coulombs), you'd rearrange to be C = Q/100.
Can you use a slightly bigger motor start capacitor than originally fitted?
I think a larger capacitor would be okay but only if its 2 or 3 percent larger than the rated value.
