basic capacitor question
i think i've cracked the whole idea of a capacitor, but I don't understand how there is a current in the circuit when charging a capacitor, when there is meant to be an insulator between to two plates?
maybe this is just me being a bit dim, could someone just explain to me exactly how one works whilst charging, in relation to the flow of electrons. do electrons pass from one plate to the next or what. or is it to do with something in the cell.

You have a potential difference in the cell. So electrons flow away from negative end to a particular capacitor plate, electrons at opposing plate are then repelled by negative charge building on the plate, and hence move to the opposite side.
Current is just the movement of charge...
