Electric field in a cylindrical capacitor
A capacitor is a device used in electric and electronic circuits to store electrical energy as an electric potential difference (or in an electric field) consists of two electrical conductors (called plates), typically plates, cylinder or sheets, separated by an insulating layer (a void or a dielectric material). ...
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.

At its most simple, a capacitor can be little more than a pair of metal plates separated by air. As this constitutes an open circuit, DC current will not flow through a capacitor. If this simple device is connected to a DC voltage source, as shown in Figure 8.2.1, negative charge will build up on the bottom plate while positive charge builds up on the top plate.
