→About Capacitance
*[[Capacitor]]s in [[Series Circuit|series]] have a reduced total [[capacitance]], while those in [[Parallel Circuit|parallel]] have an increased total [[capacitance]].
*[[Capacitance]] is a [[measure]] of a [[capacitor]]'s ability to store [[Electrical Charge|charge]].
*In [[Direct Current|DC]] [[Electrical CirctuitCircuit|circuits]], a [[capacitor]] charges and discharges, storing and releasing [[Energy|energy]].
*In [[Alternating Current|AC]] [[Electrical Circuit|circuits]], [[capacitor]]s block direct [[Electrical Current|current]] and allow [[Alternating Current|alternating current]] to pass, acting as a reactive component.
