Here is the question that I'm given:
Consider a circuit with a capacitor, battery, wire, and bulb. Describe the source(s) of charge during:
1. capacitor charging
2. capacitor discharging
What is the cause of charge motion during capacitor charging?
Using the analogy of the air capacitor, what do you think might be the cause of charge motion during capacitor discharging?
My solution: I thought that the battery in a circuit provided the energy for the charge to move through, but would this be a correct answer to the first question? Wouldn't the charge come from the discharged capacitor when the capacitor is discharged? For the second question, "What is the cause of charge of motion during capacitor charging?" I have no idea what to write. I don't even get what the question is asking. For the last question, I don't understand it either. I just need some help in understanding all of this!
