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 Plate)
.......... + + + + + +
.......... __________ (Neutral Plate)
............|
............|
Please ignore these dots......<
They are only meant to maintain indenting...>
............< (Resistor)
............>
............l
..........______|______
..........________
............____ (Earth)
............_
What might happen here is that since the neutral plate is grounded, it will draw charge from the Earth to make its potential zero.
As the charge is drawn, it will be utilised by resistor so theorotically the plate will take infinite time to get charged.
As the capacitor gets charged, the current will reduce. However, when that happens, the earthed plate can be neutralised again to regain stronger flow of current and the process restarted.
Will this circuit practically work?
