How many of the following are true? 1. The capacity of a capacitor depends on the amount of charge accumulated on its plates. 2. The capacitance of a capacitor depends on the potential difference applied to its terminals. 3. The capacitance of a capacitor depends only on its geometry. 4. The SI unit (Coulomb/Volt) can be used as the SI unit of capacitance of a capacitor. 5. When we charge a capacitor with a battery, the potential difference between the terminals of the capacitor in the "full charge" state becomes twice the potential difference between the terminals of the battery. 6. After charging a capacitor, when we disconnect the capacitor from the circuit we are charging and measure the potential difference between the terminals of the capacitor, we see zero value.
