Abstract
In this paper, the potential capacitance of shea butter (SB) was studied using thermal influenced by varying the temperature between 30°C and 80°C, and distance between the plates from 1 cm to 3 cm. Though different samples were not used for this research, the qualities of various SB in term of physical and chemical composition are related. The SB exhibit dielectric property which satisfies the common law due to short distance effect that is inversely proportional to the amount of charge stored using a unique cross-sectional area of the plates. The temperature was noted to reduce the potential capacitance as it increases while short distance allows high capacitance.
