Usually a tiny fraction of a second. Actually it will depend on the characteristics of the the capacitor, and of the remaining circuit (mainly, any resistor in series). The "time constant" of a capacitor with a resistor in series to charge from 0 to a fraction of (1 - 1/e), about 68%, of its final value. This time is the product of the resistance and the capacitance. After about 5 time constant, you can consider the capacitor completely loaded for all practical purposes - i.e., it will be at the same voltage as the battery.

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.

Is a diode used as capacitor?

Both a capacitor and battery "store charge". However, in a battery there is a chemical reaction that continues to generate charge. You apply a charge across the "plates" of a capacitor and it will decay over time from leakage or through a discharge resistance to ground in the circuit. You need really large capacitors to store meaningful amounts of charge, to take the place of a battery for example.


How long does it take to charge a 3Ds halfway?

The time it takes for the 3DS' battery to charge to full from 0% is around 3 hours. Therefore, it should take around an hour and a half to charge half of the battery.
