@hana this is a good illustration of why it is good practice to ClearAll your function names before you define them. In this case, you would write something like ClearAll[capacitor]; in the line before your definition of capacitor.

What specific code produces $Failed? Just the definition above, or an attempt to use it? Can you post the code you are trying to run if it's the latter?
