AI Customer ServiceThe capacitor charge is defined to Q which formally is always positive. The capacitor charge can be negative in cases where one plate is defined as the positive plate for some derivational or practical reason and this plate happens to acquire a negative charge (e.g., see § 5.5). In electrostatic equilibrium, the plates are EQUIPOTENTIALS.
The capacitor potential is always positive except in cases where the defined positive plate happens to have a negative charge and therefore a negative potential (e.g., see § 5.5). In words, capacitance is how much charge a capacitor can hold per capacitor voltage (i.e., how many coulombs per volt).
One plate of the capacitor holds a positive charge Q, while the other holds a negative charge -Q. The charge Q on the plates is proportional to the potential difference V across the two plates. The capacitance C is the proportional constant, C depends on the capacitor's geometry and on the type of dielectric material used.
An electric field appears across the capacitor. The positive plate (plate I) accumulates positive charges from the battery, and the negative plate (plate II) accumulates negative charges from the battery. After a point, the capacitor holds the maximum amount of charge as per its capacitance with respect to this voltage.
Say we had a collection of isolated capacitors with capacitances Ci, charges Qi, and potentials Vi: note Qi = CiVi of course. We then order them with the fiducial positive plates all on the left say. If a plate happens to be actually negative, then its Qi and Vi are negative.
The capacitors ability to store this electrical charge ( Q ) between its plates is proportional to the applied voltage, V for a capacitor of known capacitance in Farads. Note that capacitance C is ALWAYS positive and never negative. The greater the applied voltage the greater will be the charge stored on the plates of the capacitor.
