When a certain capacitor carries charges of ±10 µC on its plates, the potential difference cross the plates is 25 V. Which of the following statements about this capacitor are true? (There could be more than one correct choice.)

A) If we double the charges on the plates to ±20 µC, the potential difference across the plates will also double.
B) If we double the charges on the plates to ±20 µC, the capacitance of the capacitor will also double.
C) If we double the charges on the plates to ±20 µC, the capacitance of the capacitor will not change.
D) If we double the charges on the plates to ±20 µC, the potential difference across the plates will decrease by a factor of two.
