the plates of capacitor are connected to the same battery so same potential difference will develop across the plates of capacitors, as a result charges of same magnitude will be stored, as the charges are being supplied by the same battery.

How can works capacitors?
When connected to a d.c. supply, electrons are transferred from one plate and deposited on the opposite plate. This creates a potential difference across the two plates. This action continues until the capacitor's potential difference is equal (but opposite) to the potential difference of the d.c. source. If the source is then removed, the electrons cannot return to the original plate, other than through the dielectric, so the capacitor will hold that potential difference. By definition, the charge 'stored' on the capacitor is the amount of negative charge on the negative plate (not the sum of the charges on the two plates). Leakage current through the dielectric gradually reduces the potential difference across the plates.
Does the charge that flows into the capacitor during the charging process go all the way through the capacitor and back to the battery's or does it get stored somewhere in the capacitor?
A capacitor stores electrical charge. When the device is shut off, the charge will - over time - slowly bleed off. But immediately after shutdown, the charge is still present in the capacitor. In large capacitors, such as those found in air conditioning units, older style televisions, and microwave ovens, the stored charge can be strong enough to be potentially lethal. Service technicians have safe procedures for bleeding off the capacitor charge, but those not knowledgeable about electrical systems should not touch a chassis of above-mentioned items, even if shut off and unplugged. Stickers that say "Danger - High Voltage" mean exactly what they say.Another AnswerA capacitor does NOT store charge; it stores energy.The net charge on the plates of a capacitor is no different whether it is 'fully charged' or 'fully discharged'. It does not take charge from the supply and store it on its plates! It simply allows electrons from one plate to be transferred to the other, so there is no change in the overall amount of charge.What it does do is to store energy, expressed in joules.
What is an importance of capacitance?
capacitor is a device to store charge .it is based on the concept that when the potential of the capacitor is decreased it can gain some more charge so Q = CV where V is potential and Q is the charge stored then C is the capacitance. capacitance is the ability of the capacitor to store charge. expression for capacitance is C=ɛA/d where ɛis permittivity and A is area of capacitor plates ,d is plate separation.
How can a capacitor filter the AC and DC?
A capacitor consists of two plates separated from one another by an insulator. These plates are normally thin foil and can be sandwiched around a very thin insulator and wrapped into a small package. Since there is an insulator between the plates, DC connected to the two plates cannot flow as long as you do not exceed the breakdown voltage of the insulator. AC current is a different story. Because the insulator is very thin and the effective plate area is relatively large, a negative charge building up on one plate causes electrons to be repelled from the opposite plate, and as the charge on the first plate reverses and becomes positive, the electrons in the opposite plate are attracted back again. This results in a matching alternating current flow on the opposite side of the capacitor.
If a 0.40-uF capacitor is connected to a 9.0-V battery how much charge is on each plate of the capacitor?
The units of capacitance are called farads. A one farad capacitor is a capacitor with 1 volt potential difference with 1 coulomb of charge on the capacitor, C = Q/V or Q=CV So the charge held on your capacitor is Q = CV = 9Volts * 0.40*10-6Farads=3.6*10-6 Coulombs
Can you change your license plate number if you are not happy with it at no additional charge?
No there will be additional charge for getting your license plate changed
Does a foam plate have a positive charge or a negative charge?
negative
What plate boundaries have the largest magnitude earthquakes?
The plate boundaries that have the largest magnitude earthquakes are convergent plates. Convergent plates are moving together and eventually collide. These plates are usually along the edge of an ocean and next to a continent.

In Arizona if your vehicle is repossessed and your get the vehicle back is it illegal for the repossession agent to charge a fee before they will return your licence plate?
In the State of Arizona, the license plate belongs to the debtor. They cannot charge you for your plate but they can charge you for inventory and storage of your personal property (which, incidently, includes your plate).
What plate is Haiti on?
Haiti is on the boundary of two tectonic plates, the North American plate and the Caribbean plate. The shifting of these plates is what caused the massive 7 magnitude earthquake on January 12, 2010.
What plates caused the recent Japanese earthquake?
The Indo-Australia plate subducted (slipped) underneath the Sunda Plate (A small plate trapped between the Eurasian and the Indo-Australian plates), displacing 1,600Km of plate boundary 15m vertically. This causes an underwater earthquake with magnitude 9.1 on the MMS (Moment Magnitude Scale). This caused 3 waves to be formed. Some of which travelled at 500mph.
Did the largest magnitude earthquake in the past year occur at a subduction zone plate boundary?
Yes. All known earthquakes of magnitude 9.0 or greater have occurred at subduction boundaries.
A circular plate with radius 1.61 m contains 793 μC of a charge uniformly distributed. Find the magnitude of the electric field near the plate.?
gauss law E=Q/(E0*A) Q=793*10^-6 r=1.61 A=4*pi*r^2 E0 = 8.8*10^-12 solve for E
What is meant by charged metallic plate?
A charged metallic plate is a thin rectangular (or square) sheet that carries a surface charge. Because metal is a conductor, you can assume that the surface charge is spread uniformly over the area of the plate.
How can you charge a metallic plate?
a metalic sheet can be charge by induction and conduction to keep it on insulated stand
How likely is a tectonic plate shift to cause an earthquake of significant magnitude?
Not that Often, According to scientist its about 30 years.
