Consider a capacitor with charge +Q on one plate and charge -Q on the other plate as shown in the picture. A. If a wire is now connected, as in the diagram, would charge flow in wire? If so, explain why charge would flow in terms of the electric field. If not, explain why not. B. If charge does flow, would it flow contionuosly always in the same direction? Would it flow for a period of time then stop? Or would it flow and then switch direction? Describe the flow as a function of time. Explain reasoning. C. Would the potential difference between the plates change or remain constant? Would it increase or decrease? Explain.
