Question

Does the charge that flows into the capacitor during the charging go all the way through the capacitor and back to the battery, or does it get stored somewhere in the capacitor? it goes all the way through the capacitor and back to the battery. it gets stored somewhere in the capacitor.

Answer 1

it gets stored somewhere in the capacitor.

Step-by-step explanation:

Capacitor is a charge storage device in which charge is stored on the opposite facing plates

the maximum charge that is stored on the plates of capacitor is given as

`Q = CV`

here we know that

C = capacitance of the capacitor

V = voltage difference across it

Now when capacitor got its maximum charge then flow of charge through the battery stopped.

So here we can say that correct answer will be

it gets stored somewhere in the capacitor.

Answer 2

The charge that flows into the capacitor during the charging does not go through the capacitor and back to the battery. It gets stored somewhere in capacitor, specifically on the plate of the capacitor where the voltage is connected to.
