<span>Well, during the day, the water, as well as the surfaces surrounding the water, are heated by various thermodynamic processes: conduction, convection, radiation, etc. This in turn warms the water molecules in the lakes, streams, rivers, and oceans, thereby transferring heat (their kinetic energy) to the water molecules, which in turn receive that energy from the surrounding surfaces, or directly via radiation/insolation from the sun. When the water molecules attain enough energy, some of them attain enough energy to escape the surface of the liquid and enter the gas phase. Hence, as water is heated, more and more water molecules attain enough kinetic energy to enter the gas phase.</span>

When a capacitor has a potential difference between the plates it is said to be ? . one plate has an excess of electrons and one
Ede4ka [16]

When a capacitor has a potential difference between the plates it is said to be Constant.

Both plates have different charge which signifies that one has higher potential than the other.

Therefore, when we join them in parallel, charge will flow from higher to lower. and it continued to flow until equilibrium (the entire process took only a few seconds), indicating that the potential remains constant.
