[Electricity | Capacity] Capacitance is the ability of an entity to hold an electrical charge. Energy storage commonly employs the use of a parallel plate capacitor. A parallel plate capacitor's capacitance is directly proportional to the surface area of the plates and is inversely proportional to the distance between the plates. 

Variables:

• `C` = Capacitance
• `q` = Magnitude of the charge on each of the parallel plates
• `V` = Voltage
