electrostatics - Charge On parallel plate capacitor?


Suppose if we supply two plates of parallel plate capacitor with charges $Q_1$ and $Q_2$.What would be the charge of the capacitor? As the field inside plate should be zero and hence using gauss law I can understand that charges on inner surface should be equal in magnitude and of opposite nature.Further charges on outer surface would be $\frac {Q_1+Q_2}2$ but what do we call the charge of capacitor in these cases?

classical mechanics - Moment of a force about a given axis (Torque) - Scalar or vectorial?

I am studying Statics and saw that: The moment of a force about a given axis (or Torque) is defined by the equation: $M_X = (\vec r \times \...
