Capacitance, Electrostatic
For Capacitance, Electrostatic we have a term and definition in Capacitors.
Capacitance, Electrostatic (Capacitors) 
Ability of conductors, separated by dielectrics, to store electrostatic charges. The charge Q is directly related to the product of capacitance C and voltage V as
Q = CV.
Capacitance is directly proportional to the area of either conductor A (called plates in the parallel-plate capacitor) and indirectly proportional to the distance between the plates d :
C = epsilonA / 4pid
where epsilon is the dielectric constant of the medium between the plates.
