Thanks for the explanation, Martin.  That does answer one of my questions but
not the other.

The question I am still missing is this: the texts I'm using as well as the
current tech pool say that one of the things that determins capa
capacatance is "one side of one of the plates".  I can understand the one side
of one plate.  My question is how do you determine which plate is involved for
this; is it simply determined by which pole of the cap is negative?
