The electrostatic potential is a measure of the amount of work required to move a unit charge from a reference point to a specific location in an electric field. It is a scalar quantity and is often represented by the symbol V.

Capacitance is a measure of the ability of a device to store an electric charge. It is a property of a capacitor, which is a passive electrical component that consists of two conductive plates separated by an insulating material called a dielectric. The capacitance of a capacitor is determined by the size and shape of the plates, the distance between them, and the type of dielectric material used. It is a scalar quantity and is often represented by the symbol C
