from cap to other cap , yes but the first cap is Earth. what do you think ?
hey forest.. good to hear from you. the way i look at earth gnd is, it is such a large volume that when we take or give from it, the charge made by that, in the earh, neg or pos, that charge is so very little that it creates very little opposition to taking and giving electrons back and forth. like a small cap, once you charge 1 plate, pos or neg, the opposition to taking on more electrons or removing more, is greater and takes more energy to do so. like a crystal radio, it can take good advantage of the earths abillity to allow electron flow into and out of the radio circuit. without that earth gnd, the radio is still able to work, but it faces very tiny capacitances within the circuit, again with higher opposition to the ac current flow, thus way less output in order to hear the signal. ive used a legnth of copper pipe as a gnd for a crystal radio, suspended from the ground and gotten a listenable output. that pipe had more electrons to move back and forth than just the radio circuit itself. i did this when i was a kid with a radioshack electronic kit as i wanted the radio to be portable without an earth gnd. mags
