FOR tESTING THE SIGN OF CHARGE ON BODY, a device called GOLD LEAF ELECTROSCOPE. When the disc of a positively charged is touched with any plate of the charge capacitor. IF the divergence of gold leaf increases, then the plate is positively charged and if the divergence in the leaf decrease then the plate of the capacitor is nagatively charged.

How does a capacitor store energy?
The energy stored in a capacitor is almost entirely in the electric field produced between the plates. It takes energy from a battery or some other power source to move electrons to one of the plates and away from the other. This makes one plate positively charged and the other negatively charged. Electric field is produced in proportion to the charge per unit area on a plate, and this electric field is said to originate on positive charges and terminate on negative charges. Energy stored in electric fields is proportional to the square of the electric field strength and the volume of the field. The energy is transferred from the power source to the electric field through the rearrangement of electrical charges.
What does a capacitor store if the sum of charges of both capacitors is zero?
it may consist much of negative and positive chargeAnswerA capacitor stores energy within an electric field set up between its plates. It does not 'store' charage, as the net charge is the same both before and after the capacitor has been 'charged' (unfortunate use of the word!). What it does is to enable charge to be separated, with one plate then becoming negative with respect to the other, resulting in an electric field between the two plates.When we describe the 'amount of charge' on a capacitor, by convention, we mean the amount of negative charge stored on its negative plate, and not the sum of this and the amount of positive charge on its positive plate!
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.
Can a parallel plate capacitor of 1 farad capacitance having plate separation of 1 mm be actually constructed in laboratory?
no
Does increasing the plate area of a capacitor increases the capacitance?
Yes. Increasing the plate area of a capacitor increases the capacitance. The equation of a simple plate capacitor is ...C = ere0(A/D)... where C is capacitance, er is dielectric constant (about 1, for a vacuum), e0 is electric constant (about 8.854 x 10-12 F m-1), A is area of overlap, and D is distance between the plates. (This is only a good estimate if D is small in comparison to A.) Looking at this, you can see that capacitance is proportional to plate area.
What happens when positively charged plate connects with negatively charged plate?
They neutralize.
Which plate of capacitor is plus charged?
Whichever plate is connected to the positive end of a battery.
What effect will a positively charged metal plate have on a cathode ray?
Since a cathode ray is a stream of electrons, and since electrons are negatively charged, a positively charged metal plate would cause a deflection in the cathode ray towards the plate.
Does a charged capacitor have an identical level of charge on both plates?
No, in a charged capacitor, one plate has a positive charge and the other plate has a negative charge. The magnitude of the charges on the plates is equal and opposite, resulting in a net charge of zero for the entire capacitor.
How the pointing vector points be for a parallel plate capacitor which is being charged out?
For a parallel plate capacitor is The poynting vector points everywhere radially outward of the volume between plates.
When a beam of alpha particles passes between two electrically charged plates - which plate is the beam deflected toward?
The beam would be deflected to the negative plate, as alpha particles are Helium nuclei and are positively charged.
1 For a parallel plate capacitor which is being charged out What the incorrect statement is?
Energy stored in the capacitor does not enter it through the connecting wire through the space around the wires and plates of capacitor.
Would be attracted to a negatively charged metallic plate of the basic atomic particles?
Positively charged particles, such as protons, would be attracted to a negatively charged metallic plate. Electrons, which are negatively charged, are repelled by the negative charge and would not be attracted to the plate.
How does the voltage across a parallel plate capacitor change when connected to a battery?
When a parallel plate capacitor is connected to a battery, the voltage across the capacitor increases as it charges. The battery provides a potential difference that causes charges to accumulate on the plates, leading to an increase in voltage until the capacitor is fully charged.
How does a capacitor get charged?
a capacitor is used to store charge for longer period of time.in odder to understand that how a capacitor gets charged consider two parallel metal plates.these plates are neutral having equal amount of positive and negative charges.now connect these plates to the opposite terminals of a battery.the electrons present in the plate connected to the positive terminal of a battery will be attracted by the positive terminal leaving the plate positively charged.now these electrons are pushed by the battery to its negative terminal which repels these electrons to the plate connected to it making it negatively charged. now the battery is disconnected.so in this way the plates of a capacitor gets charged.as these plates have opposite charges stored on them force of attraction exist between them enabling a capacitor to store charge for longer periods of time.
How can you use the word amoebae in a sentence?
I can positively identify sixteen types of amoebae on this specimen plate.
Are protons attracted to a negatively charged metallic plate?
Yes, protons are positively charged particles, so they would be attracted to a negatively charged metallic plate due to the electrostatic attraction between opposite charges.
