CAPACITANCE
There are many natural causes of capacitance in AC power circuits,
such as transmission lines, fluorescent lighting, and computer
monitors. Normally, these are counteracted by the inductors
previously discussed. However, where capacitors greatly outnumber
inductive devices, we must calculate the amount of capacitance to add
or subtract from an AC circuit by artificial means.
