5. What is "Cable Capacitance"?
Cable capacitance is the electrical capacitance of a cable. A length of cable will exhibit the
characteristics of a capacitor.
To further assist the understanding of cable capacitance, a definition of electrical capacitance may
help:
"In electricity, capacitance is the capability of a body, system, circuit, or device for storing electric charge. Capacitance is expressed as the ratio of stored charge in coulombs to the impressed potential difference in volts. The resulting unit of capacitance is the Farad. In an electric or electronic circuit a device designed to store charge is called a capacitor".
