 ## cap
-cap.c is the capacitor complement to iloc. It takes your desired capacitance
-value in picofarads and the thickness (or plate spacing in the case of air
-dielectric) and dielectric K constant of the dielectric material. Though the
-algorithm is extremely simple, even moreso than the other calculators in this
-collection, it does speed up the process and make for less time entering
-formulas into a calculator (and less chance for mistakes).
+cap.c is the capacitor complement to iloc. It calculates dimensions for
+capacitors of several different shapes. Simply provide the K permittivity
+constant for the dielectric material and various dimensions as they are called
+for. Though the algorithm is extremely simple, even moreso than the other
+calculators in this collection, it does speed up the process and make for less
+time entering formulas into a calculator (and less chance for mistakes).
