Differential capacitance (per unit area of
interphase or electrode; SI unit

) is given by
where

is the potential of the electrode with respect to a
reference electrode,

is a set of
chemical potentials which are held constant,

is the
thermodynamic temperature,

is the
electric charge (per unit area of
interphase or electrode), and

is the pressure.
