Smart. On both their parts actually, but i think i would prefer paying rather than getting stuck in a prison cell :) ! Anyway, thank you Sophiecentaur and Studiot.

But how does the line monitoring station detect the power drop? If the line is buried independently then how does it affect the high voltage grid cable?

Thank you sophiecentaur :) Couldnt find a better way to depict what i was thinking. I had this on my mind for quite a while. Thanks a lot studiot for explaining the topic.

I am sorry if i am bending rules here but i really thought that this could prove to be an efficient source of electricity. As for the plate to be charged, two plates can be connected to either terminals of the battery, charged and the positive plate removed and used. The next question would be...

Okay but the capacitor will only be fully charged at t=infinite. Does that mean that charge can continuously be drawn from the Earth till the current becomes too little to be able to use?

Karthick, If you observe the circuitry, you will see that only ONE plate and not the entire capacitor is grounded. So the potential of the grounded plate and not the entire capacitor must be zero and in order to do that, negative charge must be pulled from the Earth to neutralise the effect of...

I recently learned about r-c circuits and was wonderring that if Earth can provide electrons then why is it not used as a source of charge? Will the below circuit be successful in drawing charge? .......... __________ (Isolated Positively Charged...
