A single conductor can exhibit self-capacitance, which allows it to store a small amount of charge and raise its potential. However, this self-capacitance is minimal and often considered negligible in practical applications. The concept of using a single conductor as a capacitor is theoretically possible, but the amount of charge stored is too small to be significant. Therefore, while it is technically feasible, it is not practical for most uses. Understanding self-capacitance is essential for grasping the limitations of conductors in charge storage.
