Charge buildup between the plates of a capacitor stops when the current flow through the capacitor goes to zero.
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.
A5uf capacitor has 5*10-4 coulombs of charge stored on its plates
Yes, it can. Then you can use the charge to power something else. :)
They store charge between their plates in an electric field
No, the Poynting vector does not point radially outward in the volume between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor. The Poynting vector represents the direction and flow of electromagnetic energy, and in the case of a static electric field between the plates, the Poynting vector is zero within the volume between the plates.

the charge on the capacitor had increased.
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.
If you mean the capacity of the capacitor then, Factors are:- Area of of overlap of the plates Separation of the plates How good is the insulating material between the plates (the dielectric) If you mean how large a charge can be stored then, Factors are:- The capacitance of the capacitor (C). The applied voltage (V). Charge Q =CxV V cannot exceed the dielectric's breakdown voltage.

by using capacitor plates. The length,area ,thickness and type of the plate determines the amount of charge a capacitor can store.
capacitor is charge holding device ,it holds charge on two plates named as +ve and -ve
The job of a capacitor is to store charge onto its plates. The amount of electrical charge that a capacitor can store on its plates is known as its Capacitance value and depends upon three main factors.The surface area, A of the two conductive plates which make up the capacitor, the larger the area the greater the capacitance.The distance, d between the two plates, the smaller the distance the greater the capacitance.The type of material which separates the two plates called the "dielectric", the higher the permittivity of the dielectric the greater the capacitance.
A conductor is a material that possesses free charge carriers capable of transferring an electrical charge. A capacitor is a discrete device in which two conducting plates sandwich an electrolytic wafer. The purpose of a capacitor is to store a charge for a finite amount of time.
