@abunai59 I think what he asking is how can the negatively charged plate cause the other plate to be positive if the insulator doesn't allow electrons through. This is what I am wondering myself. I don't know much about electricity.
@rockinewok@MrKornKid In objects you have Atoms, an atom has Protons, Electrons and Neutrons from the start. As one plate gains Electrons, the plate has more Electrons than Protons - therefore is negatively charged. In physics, Negative repels away from Negative, this means that the electrons that are in the atoms in the opposite plate are repelled away from the charged plate, forcing them into the circuit, this leaves behind Protons, leaving that plate positively charged.
@rockinewok there was no transfer of electrons from the first plate to the second plate. the electrons of the second plate were just repelled by the negative charge of the first plate.
@rockinewok its not electrons pushing out electrons, its a magnetic field(possibly electromagnetic, not entirely sure on that, but there is a difference), negatively charged, pushing away the like charged electrons. the field being caused by the build up of electrons in the side of the capacitor recieving charge.
that was interesting it really was, but what the hell i didnt leanr jack squat about AC

The hart of the capacitor is the dielectric and you need to explain the dielectric in more detail.

Where did the protons come from?, the capacitor was in place before the circuit was closed how did the protons get past the insulator?

they're not protons :)
protons are not transported by electric circuits.

hmm interesting...
I wouldn't know then if that's the case. Insulators are insulators because they DONT let electrons through.

The name of this video should be basics of Capacitance,
The explanation was great., keep up the good work, sir!
