A change in pressure leads to the flexure of the diaphragm, which results in a change in capacitance. Source: Internet

Additional delay can be caused when a large number of inputs are connected to an output, due to the distributed capacitance of all the inputs and wiring and the finite amount of current that each output can provide. Source: Internet

Additional energy is transferred from the primary to the secondary inductance and top-load capacitance during each "push", and secondary output voltage builds (called 'ring-up'). Source: Internet

Adding capacitance across a crystal causes the (parallel) resonance frequency to decrease. Source: Internet

A dielectric (orange) reduces the field and increases the capacitance. Source: Internet
