    So highest potential of a capacitor plate system is on positive charge plate

    Explanation:

    As we know that capacitor is a device which is used to store electric field energy between its two plates

    So here we can say that in order to store electric field energy the two plates of capacitor will hold some charge on it.

    Charge on two plates will be equal in magnitude but opposite in sign

    So the plate with negative charge will be at lower potential while the plate with positive charge will be at higher potential.

    So highest potential of a capacitor plate system is on positive charge plate
