Abstract
This chapter discusses capacitance of the capacitors. Frictional forces between two non-conducting materials of different kinds always result in a displacement of electrons. If a charged body is freely suspended on a fine dry thread, it will demonstrate that there is a force acting when another body is brought close to it. Similar charges will repel, while unlike charges will attract. There will also be attraction between a charged body and a neutral body. By adding a charge Q to a conductor, the potential of that conductor is altered. The charge Q is measured in coulombs and is, for any conductor, proportional to the potential V volts. The unit of capacitance is the farad, and this is the capacity of a conductor when the addition of 1 C of charge raises its potential by 1V.
