Capacitance is the ability of a component or circuit to collect and store energy in the form of an electrical charge
 
Capacitance is the ratio of the change in an electric charge in a system to the corresponding change in its electric potential
 
A 1 farad capacitor, when charged with 1 coulomb of electrical charge, has a potential difference of 1 volt between its plates. The reciprocal of capacitance is called elastance
