ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS - THE CAPACITOR Like the resistor, capacitance is a physical property of the capacitor and doesn’t depend on voltage, current, and resistance. A given capacitor will always have the same value of capacitance (farads) regardless of any other circuitry. A capacitors value depends on the following internal factors: the area of the plates the distance between the plates the dielectric constant 36 of 61
