Solution

(c) the charges on the plates

The capacitance of a capacitor is given by

C = 0Ad

Here, A is the area of the plates of the capacitor and d is the distance between the plates.
So, we can clearly see that the capacitance of a capacitor does depend on the size and shape of the plates and the separation between the plates; it does not depend on the charges on the plates.
