Capacitor in Electronics

When a capacitor is connected to a power source, electrons accumulate at one of the conductors (the negative plate), while electrons are removed from the other conductor (the positive plate). This creates a potential difference (voltage) across the plates and establishes an electric field in the dielectric material between them.
