Increase the pressure and the flow must increase. Increase the resistance and the flow must decrease. In a water system a tank has capacitance. Wrong, we have seen that coulombs is cubic feet. Do you see then that capacitance in an electrical circuit equates to the base area of the water tank.
Capacitance equates to square feet .
In a water system 1 cubic foot stored in a tank of base area 1 square foot raises the pressure to 1 foot. Consider also that in electricity, the capacitance between two plates is directly proportional to their area so you might expect area and capacitance to be related. Inductance is to electricity as Mass is to water. The analogy breaks down totally here. In an a.c. electrical system college students are taught that in an inductor current lags voltage and, in a capacitor, current leads voltage.
