Capacitance in a sentence as a noun

[1] For example, iPhones use a touch screen based on capacitance.

There is a steel ring, which probably senses capacitance.

The easiest way to reduce the capacitance is to reduce the physical size of the gate.

I'll ignore the electrical design and just assert you need X capacitance to get this done.

They get quite bulky at capacitances required by these inverters.

It works by detecting RF capacitance between a pair of antennae and the player's body.

Placing caps in series increases their voltage tolerance but reduces their overall capacitance.

What an interesting problem!As a mechanical engineer I know that this could be simplified to a lumped capacitance heat transfer problem.

[1] Wider transistors also cause more capacitance for the other transistors that are driving them, but for most modern designs this is smaller than line capacitance.

The MP3 codec already existed, and touchscreens have nothing to do with a "common protocol", unless you count being a human with a capacitance as a protocol.

From what I gather from the Wikipedia page, it's due to the transmission cables being underwater and hence having a much larger capacitance, which is a larger loss than normal DC loss.

The current a transistor can put out is porportional to the width over the length and chip designers usually want wide transistors[1], but wide transistors take up space which causes more line capacitance.

It used to bug me when you had to tune RF circuits at a distance with non-conductive tools because your body capacitance would throw the tuning off. Having a clock that just being near it will change what time it reads, well that is a whole different ballgame of weird is it not?On a science note, why isn't this a gravity wave detector anyway?

It irks me that some people who don't know anything about the physics of touch screen technology and don't seem to understand that 'taps' are actually small changes of capacitance of an array of capacitors.

This innovation will let people put more, wider transistors in a given area which will both increase the current they're putting out and decrease the capacitance they're fighting against, leading to higher frequencies[2].

Of course its worse and many meters do semiconductor forward voltage drop, and continuity, and resistance, and frequency, and capacitance, so next thing you know you have 50 meters on your desk or one multimeter.

You can model a stereotypical FET gate as a capacitor, all you're really doing is charging and discharging capacitors either in FET gates or the transmission line theoretical capacitance.
