You charge a capacitor by placing DC voltage across its terminal leads. Make sure when using a polarized capacitor to place positive voltage across the positive lead (the longer lead) and negative voltage across the negative lead.
Also make sure that the voltage you charge the capacitor to doesn't exceeds its voltage rating.

Capacitor not charge?
If a capacitor will not charge, it is open, i.e. damaged.
What is the net charge on the charged capacitor?
there is no net charge on the capacitor because nomber of positive and negative charge and negetive are equal.
What is a device used to store charge?
A capacitor stores an electric charge. An inductor stores a magnetic charge.
How a capacitor store charge?
by using capacitor plates. The length,area ,thickness and type of the plate determines the amount of charge a capacitor can store.
Why capacitor is connected to earth in circuit?
when a capacitor is connected to earth the potential of capacitor becomes zero. as a result all the charge residing on the conductors of a capacitor passes away and the final charge on capacitor becomes zero
When a capacitor is neutralized where does excess charge go back to?
A capacitor is "charged" when the charge on the two plates is not the same. When you neutralize or "discharge" the capacitor you are transferring charge back to the low plate, so that the charge on both plates is the same.
Charge buildup between the plates of a capacitor stops when?
Charge buildup between the plates of a capacitor stops when the current flow through the capacitor goes to zero.
What is the use capacitor?
capacitor is charge holding device ,it holds charge on two plates named as +ve and -ve
What is the function of a capacitor in a washing machine?
The function of a capacitor in a washing machine is to store a charge. This charge is what starts the washer.
Can a capacitor charge to its maximum by applying any voltage to it?
A capacitor can charge to its' maximum OR the voltage applied to it, whichever is LESS.
An air-filled parallel-plate capacitor is connected to a battery and allowed to charge up Now a slab of dielectric material is placed between the plates of the capacitor while the capacitor is still?
the charge on the capacitor had increased.
If you take out the battery in a capacitor before inserting a dielectric will there still be charge on the dielectric?
The charge in a capacitor is between the plates. The dielectric is only an insulator that allows the plates to be very close without touching and discharging the charge. There is no battery in a capacitor.
