HOW DOES A CAPACITOR WORK CLASS 12?
It is a two terminal electronic passive component(does not create energy) which stores electric energy when voltage is applied across its plates.
Electrons from the negative side of the battery will stream to the right plate and give its negative charges.The negative charges building up on right plate will repulse(repel) the negative charges on the left plate.
Those negative charges will go towards the positive charge of the battery leaving behind positive charges on the left plate. Here is the reallocation of charges occurring.
No current streams across the gap.The capacitor is supposed to be charged.
