To solve the question regarding the quantity of charge in a parallel plate capacitor with unequal plate areas, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Capacitor Configuration**: - We have a parallel plate capacitor with two plates that are not equal in area. Let's denote the area of the positive plate as \( A_1 \) and the area of the negative plate as \( A_2 \). 2. **Charge Distribution**: ...
