@Neelaji.

It is variable capacitor not variable capacitance.

A varacter diode is basically a reverse biased PN junction which utilises the inherent capacitence of the depletion layer. It is also known as varicap, voltcapor tunning diode. It is used as a voltage variable capacitor.

The another name for varactor diode is variable capacitance.
