Integral capacitance

Term · Chemistry · MLC-T-CHM-005912

The ratio of the charge density on an electrode to the potential difference between the electrode and a reference point, typically the potential of zero charge. This capacitance represents the total charge stored in the electrical double layer for a given potential. It is measured in Farads per square meter (F/m^2).
