Capacitance

     Capacitance in the ability of an object to store an electric charge. We often see these in every day life in things like batteries.  The formula to find C, or Capacitance is 

C=q/V

C= Capacitance

q=charge

V= Voltage 

A battery is a great example of capacitance or something that can hold an electric charge.  The reason our remotes, cars, and phones work is because of the battery and the ability the battery has to hold an electric charge.  If it was not for capacitance, nothing requiring electricity to work would be portable.  Everything would need to be connected to something that can power it like the outlets in our walls.  Nothing would be able to store electricity.
