Capacitance is the measure of an object's ability to store electric charge. It is directly related to the electric field, as the strength of the electric field is proportional to the amount of charge stored in the object.
The formula for finding electric field from capacitance is E = Q/C, where E is the electric field in volts per meter (V/m), Q is the charge in coulombs (C), and C is the capacitance in picofarads (pF). This formula can also be written as E = V/d, where V is the voltage in volts (V) and d is the distance between the charged plates in meters (m).
In order to find the electric field from capacitance, you will need to know the capacitance value in picofarads (pF) and the charge in coulombs (C) that is stored in the object. You may also need to know the distance between the charged plates in meters (m) if you are using the formula E = V/d.
As the capacitance increases, the electric field decreases. This is because an object with a higher capacitance has the ability to store more charge, which results in a lower electric field strength. Similarly, as capacitance decreases, the electric field increases.
Capacitance and electric field cannot be measured directly, but they can be calculated using specific formulas and measurements. For example, capacitance can be calculated by measuring the charge and voltage of an object, and electric field can be calculated by measuring the charge and distance between two charged plates.
