Is it possible to have some thing called "MUTUAL CAPACITANCE" between two capacitors similar to "MUTUAL INDUCTANCE " between two inductors?  

Mutual capacitance is intentional or unintentional capacitance that occurs between two charge-holding objects or conductors, in which the current passing through one passes over into the other. Unlike mutual inductance, mutual capacitance only works along short distances. In transmission lines, when conductors are closely spaced together, the air or material separating them acts as a dielectric, and the conductors act as capacitor plates.

All objects in the universe, conducting or non-conducting, that hold charge with respect to another exhibit capacitance. An object's capacitance increases when another object is brought closer to it. The human body is a great charge-holding object (capacitor) (this biological property is called body capacitance), and sensitive capacitive detectors can be made to function as proximity detectors. The capacitive property of the human body is also helpful in making touch switches, such as those used in touch-activated lamps. The lamp constantly charges and discharges its metal exterior, measuring a change in capacitance.

When mutual capacitance occurs adversely (unintentionally) between transmission lines, this is an example of crosstalk.

velocity (propagation velocity)
• Propagation velocity vp dependent on surrounding
medium
• Propagation delay Td (per unit length) is the inverse of vp
In victim circuit, inductive voltage drop in shield return is
precisely cancelled by the magnetically induced voltage in the
signal circuit
♦
Net voltage induced in victim circuit is equal to the product of the
shield current and the shield resistance acting as a transfer
impedance
♦
The transfer impedance of a shield at frequencies below about
100 kHz (typically) is precisely equal to the resistance of the

Depending on shield type and construction, at higher frequencies
the transfer impedance can be lower or higher than the shield
