electrostatics - Charge On parallel plate capacitor?


Suppose if we supply two plates of parallel plate capacitor with charges Q1 and Q2.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 Q1+Q22 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 \...
