PLATE AREA: greater plate area gives greater capacitance; less plate area gives less capacitance.
PLATE SPACING: further plate spacing gives less capacitance; closer plate spacing gives greater capacitance.
DIELECTRIC MATERIAL:Although its complicated to explain, some materials offer less opposition to field flux for a given amount of field force. Materials with a greater permittivity allow for more field flux (offer less opposition), and thus a greater collected charge, for any given amount of field force (applied voltage).
greater permittivity of the dielectric gives greater capacitance; less permittivity of the dielectric gives less capacitance
