What do you mean? Electrons follow the opposite direction of the field lines, so why wouldn't the electrons in the outer ring feel some repulsion from the inner ring?
Given the following image of 2 conductors, a negatively charged inner ring and positively charged outer ring, taken from http://www.physicsclassroom.com/class/estatics/u8l4d.cfm"
Where are the electrons located in the outer ring?
If there was no inner ring, and as the outer is...
Is the following correct?
When the plates have no charge and are first linked up.
You can approximate the Electric Pontential (Voltage) at the (-)Plate and the (-)Cell Terminal, by using the Electric potential due to a point charge at each. If there is a Electric Potential Difference, then...
Freeze - So you're saying after the capacitor is charged, it has a net total of ZERO? ...but for it to have a voltage, wouldn't it have to have a higher number of electrons on one of the plates? So if the battery is 9v, then it would have 9 times more electrons on the -plate, than there are...
I don't understand why the plate linked to the negative battery becomes negatively charged.
To begin with, each plate is neutral so each contain equal amounts of positive and negative charge. When connected to the battery, the plate linked to the postitive battery terminal becomes positively...
