First before asking the original question i need to make sure some of my concepts are correct:
1- what happens when a capacitor with its 2 plates having different areas is charged?
according to this forum https://van.physics.illinois.edu/qa/listing.php?id=23409 as the long as the difference in size does not extent the separation distance we can use an average of the areas or just the small one , but if the area of the big is much bigger than the distance of separation , eg: area ratio is 1:100 , then what happens to the extra electrons on the big plate ( given that the bigger plate will be the -ve one ) , will all the electrons concentrate around the area covered by the small positive plate ? or will it be spread all over the plate ?
