How Do You Measure Absolute Capacitance with a Ballistic Galvanometer?

[PratyashAstro]

My question is : What is the absolute capacitance?In my electricity lab, I was assigned to prepare a report on measuring absolute capacitance of a capacitor using ballistic galvanometer.
I am familiar to the term self capacitance but not the absolute one. My mentor asked me to find it out by myself. But I couldn't find any source in the internet to have a precise concept.Could anyone please help?

I think it is just capacitance.
