Capacitance vs Capacitively - What's the difference?

capacitance | capacitively |

As a noun capacitance

is (physics|uncountable) the property of an electric circuit or its element that permits it to store charge, defined as the ratio of stored charge to potential over that element or circuit (q/v ); si unit: farad (f).

As an adverb capacitively is

(physics|electronics) in relation to or in terms of capacitance.
