Question
What is the nature of the charge on the plates of capacitor ?
Open in App
Solution
The purpose of a capacitor is to store charge,
and in a parallel-plate capacitor one plate will take on an excess of
positive charge while the other becomes more negative.
Accordingly, capacitance is greatest in devices with high
permittivity, large plate area, and minimal separation between the plates.
