You should spend some time in a library, Glazier, while you
still can... zip up your pants, get to the library, and learn
something about capacitors and their history. Go on.... git!
Sam - A capacitor does *not* store electrons per se. What a (parallel plate)
capacitor does is to *seperate* positive and negative charges onto different
plates. But in each case, a non-charged capacitor and a charged capacitor,
both has a total charge of zero. When the capacitor is charge an amount of
charge Q is moved from one plate to the other. One plate gains electrons
while other plate looses electrons and in the exact same number at which the
other plate gained them.
