Accepted Answer

If charge q is stored on a capacitor, one plate of the capacitor holds a positive charge Q, while the other holds a negative charge -Q. While charging a capacitor charges move in such a way that , firstly a single electron gets added to one side of the capacitor and then the electron has a electric field that repels other electrons . This field reaches through space and pushes the electron in the other plate  because of which that plate acquired an induced positive charge . This is how same amount of charge get acquired on both the plates  . Hence , one plate of the capacitor holds a positive charge Q, while the other holds a negative charge -Q.
