Question

What property of objects is best measured by their capacitance?

Answer 1

Answer: the object's ability to store charge

Explanation:

The capacitance $C$ is defined as the relationship between the electric charge of each conductor and the potential difference between them. That is, it is the capacity of a device to store electrical charge.  

In other words:  

It is the property that bodies have to maintain an electric charge.  

Mathematically it is defined as:  

$C=\frac{Q}{V}$  

where:  

$C$ is the capacitance value of a capacitor. Its unit is Farad $F$; named in honor of the physicist Michael Faraday  

$Q$ is the electric charge of the conductor, measured in coulombs $C$.  

$V$is the electric potential to which the conductor is located, measured in Volt.
