... It will be seen later (Sec.1.10) that dimensionally capacitance is given by (permittivity x length), and the unit of capacitance being farad (F), permittivity is expressed in the unit of farad/metre (F/m). The relative permittivity, on the other hand, being a relative quantity is a unit-less number. ...

On melting if volume of a substance decreases, an increase in pressure will help the process of melting, so that melting point will be lower. On the other hand if volume of a substance increases on melting, then an increase in pressure will op ...
