SUMMARY

The charging of capacitor plates occurs immediately upon connection to a direct current (DC) source due to the attraction of opposite charges. In this scenario, one plate connects to the positive terminal while the other connects to the negative terminal of the DC source. The gap between the plates, filled with an insulator, prevents current flow but allows for the accumulation of charge, creating an electric field that stores energy. This fundamental principle underlies the operation of capacitors in electrical circuits.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of direct current (DC) circuits
  • Basic knowledge of capacitor functionality
  • Familiarity with electric charge and electric fields
  • Concept of voltage as electrical potential
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the principles of capacitor charging and discharging
  • Learn about the role of dielectrics in capacitors
  • Explore the mathematical relationships in RC (resistor-capacitor) circuits
  • Investigate energy storage in capacitors and its applications in electronic devices
USEFUL FOR

Electrical engineers, electronics students, and anyone interested in understanding the behavior of capacitors in DC circuits.

Hi...why the plates bcomes charged as soon as they are connecetd ?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Well it happens because nature has been made such that opposite charges tend to attract while the same repel , as in a dc capacitor (which I believe is what you were thinking) one plate is attached to the positive terminal of the dc and the other of the negative , normally when you make a path for electricity to flow current forms and the electricity is flowing from one point to another , from a higher potential to a lower one (potential is voltage)
Now a capacitors plates don't touch physically so there is a gap between them so all the electrons that come from the - side of the dc stick as far as they can get which is on the plate.The positive charge coming from the opposite side into the opposite plate does the same thing as they are opposite and they want to get together.Between them is an insulator of some type which prevents current from flowing so all we are left is an charge on each of the plates and a electric field due to them , that field also happens to store the energy of all the charges that have went into the plates.
