Homework Statement
My question is very simple and perhaps it has an obvious answer.
So, if we have a simple RC circuit with and EMF battery, a resistance and a capacitor, when the capacitor is charging, electrons leave the negative terminal of the battery and accumulate on one of the capacitor plates. This way, how is there a current on the other side of the circuit? If electrons accumulate in one side of the capacitor, they will not "complete" the circuit, right?
On the other hand, when the capacitor is full charged, how does the EMF "knows it" and stop "sending" electrons out?
