Jul 23, 2020 at 18:00 comment added jrive I think the point is that there is no transfer of charge between the plates, and the charges are being moved from one plate to the other via (through) the battery, externally to the capacitor. The 2nd statement is not talking about charges flowing from one plate, through the dialectric, to the other place, but instead through the external circuit through the battery.
Sep 10, 2016 at 17:19 comment added Perspicacious I think that due to induction of charge at 2nd plate due to charge at 1st plate is the correct way to charge up a capacitor. I am considering 2nd statement to be correct because charge flow from one plate to another in a capacitor only when there is a dielectric breakdown which neutralize the charge in the capacitor.This was my opinion. I didn't get ur opinion on the 2 statements.
