#107: Capacitor Plates

There is a capacitor, hooked up to a DC power source. Now what happens of you take part of the wire that goes from the source to the capacitor, and put a section of it inside the capacitor places, where the field is going?

Would the electrons get a "kick"? 

How does that work, they are producing the very field that speeds them up?
