Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When a capacitor is fully charged, it reaches its maximum capacity to store electrons. However, the number of electrons remains the same since the capacitor only redistributes the charge across its two plates. It does not create or destroy any electrons. Therefore, the total number of electrons in the capacitor remains unchanged.
