Capacitance:Capacitance is the ability of a capacitor to store electrical energy and is determined by the size and separation distance of its plates.
Series Capacitor: A series capacitor is formed when multiple capacitors are connected in a series circuit, reducing the overall capacitance.
Energy Stored: The energy stored in a parallel-plate capacitor can be calculated using the formula 1/2 * C * V^2, where C is the capacitance and V is the voltage across it.
