###### Problem

What property of objects is best measured by their capacitance?

a) ability to conduct electric current

b) ability to distort an external electrostatic field

c) ability to store charge

###### Solution

$\overline{){\mathbf{Q}}{\mathbf{=}}{\mathbf{C}}{\mathbf{V}}}$

The higher the capacitance the higher the charge that can be stored by the capacitor.
