Question

Simple capacitor question

Answer 1

not quite sure whether they are saying the capacitor is in a complete circuit or just a wire->capacitor->wire (both leading to nothing)

Answer 2

guess it would have to be in a circuit

k so you would have
1. -Q charge on the other end
2. reason for sign - because the positive charge on the left would attract negative on the right
3. size - because

Answer 3

no wait so it would be a stand alone capacitor. you leave the charge, then it would work like electrostatics. the right hand side's electrons will attract to the left

Answer 4

it will try to pair up with equal amounts of charge. right?

Answer 5

and the charges originate in the wire and on the right hand plate of the capacitor, right?
