Why does capacitance affect the charging time of a capacitor?

Second what makes a capacitor "bigger" (in the sense of more capacity). If you take an electron away from a positive charge, it develops a voltage. The more the charges are separated, the higher the voltage is. So the voltage per charge of a capacitor goes up as the plates get more separate*, and the capacitance goes down.

Does a capacitor store voltage?

So any combination of C and V that results in 1 yields a capacitor with 1 coulomb of stored charge. Taken together, the capacitance and the amount of charge to store determines the voltage. A 1 Farad capacitor charged to 1 volt will have stored 1 coulomb as would a 0.5 Farad capacitor charged to 2 volts.
