I want to know the answer to the following question:
For each electron that departs the positive plate, how many electrons build up on the negative plate?
All the background I'm provided with is that "The current I(t) through any component in an electric circuit is defined as the rate of flow of a charge Q(t) passing through it, but actual charges—electrons—cannot pass through the dielectric layer of a capacitor.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: no
