SUMMARY
The capacitance of transmission lines is defined as the charge per unit potential difference between conductors, which presents complexities due to varying charges on individual wires. To accurately calculate capacitance in transmission lines, one must refer to established electromagnetic principles found in textbooks such as "Field and Wave Electromagnetics" by David K Cheng. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding different configurations, including parallel plates and coaxial lines, to derive relevant formulas for capacitance.
