Definitions:

Surface Area

The amount of surface of an object, generally expressed in square inches, square feet, etc.

Capacitance

The ability of a system to store electrical charge when voltage is applied, typically measured in Farads.

Parallel Connection

A configuration in electrical circuits where components are connected along multiple paths, so the same voltage is applied to each component.

Total Capacitance

In a circuit, the overall capacitance, which can be calculated differently for series and parallel configurations of capacitors, affecting the circuit’s reactance and phase angle.
