How do capacitor become charged?

A: SURE capacitors in parallel will share the charge. But don't expect a .0001 mfd capacitor to charge a 1000 mfd capacitor. It just does not have the power stored to effectively charge the 1000 mfd....

Atoms have positively charged protons in the nucleus and negatively charged electrons out side of the nucleus. The electrons are distributed in orbits of increasing radii. The outer most orbital...

Either add or remove an electron to create an ion. You could also add or remove a proton but this would be more difficult.

When it gains or loses electrons, usually by friction with another object.

Matter becomes charged when it loses or gains electrons. When an atom is neutral (no charge) it has an equal number of protons and electrons. But when it loses electrons, it becomes positively...
