Translation guide
The ability of a component or circuit to store electric charge. In Japanese, this is almost always expressed with the technical term 静電容量 or the shorter 容量 in engineering contexts.
The physical property of a capacitor or conductor, measured in farads.
Referring to the idea of storing charge in everyday or educational contexts.
In electronics, 容量 almost always means capacitance. However, in other fields (e.g., batteries, hard drives), it means capacity. If there's any risk of confusion, use 静電容量.
The standard technical term for capacitance in electronics and physics. Literally 'electrostatic capacity'.
The capacitance of this capacitor is 10 μF.
Please tell me how to measure capacitance.
Short for 静電容量, commonly used in engineering when the context is clear. Can also mean 'capacity' in general, so context is important.
Outside of electronics, 容量 often means 'capacity' (e.g., storage capacity), so use 静電容量 to avoid ambiguity.
Is the capacitance of this circuit sufficient?
Loanword from English, used occasionally in technical documents but less common than 静電容量.
The capacitance value differs from the specification.
A capacitor has the ability to store electricity (capacitance).
Means 'the property called capacitance'. Useful when introducing the term.
I learned about the property called capacitance.
