Capacitors consist of two parallel conductive plates (usually a metal) which are prevented from touching each other (separated) by an insulating material called the "dielectric". When a voltage is applied to these plates an electrical current flows charging up one plate with a positive charge with respect to the supply voltage and the other
Customer ServiceDiagram of a Parallel-Plate Capacitor: Charges in the dielectric material line up to oppose the charges of each plate of the capacitor. An electric field is created between the plates of the capacitor as charge builds on each plate.
Customer Service$begingroup$ @garyp - no, the force of attraction of the charges of one plate on charges in the other plate rapidly fall off when you move away from the area of overlap. The approximation will only break down if the ratio of spacing to lateral dimension is not small (that is, when the gap is "large "compared to the size of the plate) - in that case edge effects are not insignificant (but
Customer ServiceWhen battery terminals are connected to an initially uncharged capacitor, equal amounts of positive and negative charge, Q and -Q, are separated into its two plates.

Customer ServiceWhat are capacitors? In the realm of electrical engineering, a capacitor is a two-terminal electrical device that stores electrical energy by collecting electric charges on two closely spaced surfaces, which are insulated from each other. The area between the conductors can be filled with either a vacuum or an insulating material called a dielectric.
