Hi. To my understanding, the positive plate has no net charge and is only positive because its next to a plate that has a net negative charge.. So, to my understanding, the “positive” plate is really just a piece of metal with no net charge and is considered positive or negative relative to another plate. When we look at just the “positive” plate and ground, wouldn't that actually be looking at a regular piece of metel with no net charge and the actual earth which has no net charge and so the potential difference between the plate and earth should be zero, right? So if we placed our body between the positive plate and ground, we wouldn't get shocked, right?
