ELI5 mode

Capacitance is the ability of a system, particularly a capacitor, to store electric charge when a voltage is applied, essentially acting as a reservoir for electrical energy. In modern applications, it's crucial for smoothing out power fluctuations in devices like smartphones and electric vehicles, while also enabling touch-sensitive screens and advanced energy storage solutions.
