A parallel plate capacitor consists of two conducting plates of same dimensions. These plates are
placed parallel to each other. Space between the plates is filled with air or any insulating material (dielectric). One plate is connected to positive terminal and other is connected to negative term-
inal of power supply. The plate connected to positive terminal acquires positive charge and the
other plate connected to negative terminal acquires equal negative charge .The charges are stored between the plates of capacitor due to attraction.
