Question

What is the difference between capacitance and permittivity

Answer 1

Capacitance is the ratio of the change in electric charge of a system to the corresponding change in its electric potential. ... For many dielectric materials, the permittivity and thus the capacitance, is independent of the potential difference between the conductors and the total charge on them.
