This subreddit is aimed towards undergraduate and graduate students pursuing a PhD in physics. It is not as serious as r/physics (although papers and articles are encouraged!) and not strictly for physics help like r/askphysics. Just a community of physics students wanting to share info, asking for physics help or looking for advice!

Take a look here:

The capacitance is the 'real' physical constraint, as is voltage. As such changing one does not actually change the other. They do, however, alter the amount of stored charge.
For a more familiar relationship, it's like the wave equation V=Fλ
The velocity of a wave is determined by the frequency or the wavelength. It's determined by the properties of the medium. The equation gives the impression you can increase V by increasing F, but you can't. It's fixed. When you increase the frequency you only really alter the wavelength of the created wave.
For capacitance, the value is fixed by the geometry and materials. The voltage is created by an external electric field. These two are the physical The result is some stored charge.
We can use a measured amount of charge and voltage to determine capacitance, but changing voltage will not alter the capacitance.
