MEMBRANE CAPACITANCE

The electrical capacitance of a membrane. Plasma membranes are best insulators and dielectrics: capacitance is the measure of the quantity of charge that should be moved across unit area of the membrane to manufacture unit change in membrane potential and is measured in Farads. most plasma membranes have a capacitance near 1 microfarad cmexp 2.
