This water bucket analogy illustrates capacitance versus voltage and stored charge. The area of the bucket represents the capacitance. The depth of the water in the bucket represents the voltage, and the volume of water represents the total charge stored. In this illustration, both buckets have the same depth of water, or in capacitor terms, the same voltage. However, because the bucket on the left has a larger radius, it has a higher capacity and can therefore hold more water than the bucket on the right. Similarly, capacitors that have a higher capacitance can store more charge for the same voltage as another capacitor with less capacitance.
