Defining Capacitance: Is Charge Stored per Unit Volt Accurate?

[LanguageNerd]

Would it be wrong to describe Capacitance as being the charge stored per unit volt?

I have found on the internet that the definition of a Farad is the charge needed to cause one unit volt. Which means that the definition of Capacitance should surely be the same because the internet definition seems to be completely different to what I've previously learnt, no?

Thanks for any help in advance.

In fact, my textbook actually describes the capacitance of a capacitor as being the charge stored per unit pd. Is this the same as the charge needed to cause one unit pd in the circuit?

It isthe same, but what is a pd?

My apologies, I meant volt

Thank you by the way!

pd = potential difference, which is what the volt unit measures.
