If an uncharged parallel-plate capacitor (capacitance C) is connected to a battery, one plate becomes negatively charged as electrons move to the plate face (area A). In Fig. 25-26, the depth dfrom which the electrons come in the plate in a particular capacitor is plotted against a range of values for the potential difference Vof the battery. The density of
