The plates of the capacitor acquire equal and opposite charges irrespective of their area.

Q. If the area of the parallel plates of a capacitor is not equal, then the charges on the plates will be:

$+ Q$ and $- Q$

$+ Q_{1}$ and $- Q$

$+ Q$ and $+ Q$

$+ Q_{1}$ and $+ Q$

The plates of the capacitor acquire equal and opposite charges irrespective of their area.
