To FvM: Why? Do you mean no field from plate? That means if we have a test charge close to the plate this charge feels no force. right?
Then, I think it contradicts this thought experiment (for simplicity in vacuum):
Imagine you have two plates connected by wire with plus and minus terminal. Plates are initially far from each other (as in our case above). According to what you say there is no field around the plates.
Now we start move plates close to each other till they are parallel with small distance "d" between each other.
As we all know this a parallel plate capacitor and the field between plates equal to E=U/d and charge Q=(U*eps0*A*B)/d, where A=B=100mm in our case, U=voltage (potential difference) of a battery
So how could charge and field appear if there were no charge and field before (according to your claimn)?
I honestly want to understand the physics behind my first post, so I ask to support your answers by theory.
Of course I might be wrong.
