Which of the two capacitor plates is at the higher potential ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The sign of the potentail difference between the two plates shows that the potential increases when we go from plate 1 to plate 2 meaning that plate 2 is at a higher potential than plate 1. This is because positive charges have accumulated on plate ?
