A capacitor is made up of two metal conductors that are separated by a tiny gap. Between the two conductors is usually some sort of dielectric (non-conducting) substance.
The two conducting plates become charged when linked to a voltage source, such as a battery. Free electrons inside the top capacitor plate will flow toward the battery's positive terminal when the battery is first attached. This process is repeated until the top capacitor plate reaches the same voltage as the battery's positive terminal. The top capacitor plate will thus have a net positive charge, +Q.
Simultaneously, free electrons inside the wire interfacing the negative terminal to the base capacitor plate will advance toward the base capacitor plate. This proceeds until the bottom capacitor plate is at a similar potential as the battery's adverse terminal. A net negative charge, – Q, will be available on the bottom capacitor plate.
