Answer to Question #159154 in Electric Circuits for Terry

Question

What limits the quantity of charge a capacitor can store?

Answer 1

The amount of charge a capacitor can store is given as follows:

$$q = CU$$

where $C$ is the capacitance, and $U$ is the applied voltage. As one can see, for given voltage the capacitance limits the quantity of charge a capacitor can store.

Answer. Capacitance.
