C12 and C14 means the total number of particles composing the nucleus. Since they're both carbon, the number of protons is the same, so they have 2 neutrons difference. The charge difference beetween non-ionized atoms, therefore, doesn't exist. The difference in mass is 2x neutron mass. The difference in charge is the difference between the number of times each atom had been ionized (i.e. how many electrons it is missing). The mass difference based on loss of electron mass is neglible because electron's mass is only around 500 KeV, while hardons top 900 MeV in mass.
Figure how much times each of your atoms had been ionized. The difference between their behavior in the capacitor is obviously because of the mass difference and difference in inertia. As much as I'd love it, I'm not gonna provide you with formulae, learn to work plz.
LMAO!!
