if i put a charge on the positive plate of an isolated parallel plate capacitor, what do we take as the charge on capacitor for purpose Q=VC

dear krutika,

if you put a posetive charge 'q' on one plate of a parallel plate capacitor then the charge will be equally distributed between the two plates of parallel plate capacitor thats why you have to use Q="q/2" in the formula Q=CV.
