So that means there must be a charge Q on plate C! So, now I know each capacitor has a charge of Q, is it safe to say that each plate has a charge of magnitude Q?
The net charge on the conductor should be 0. But how does that relate to the problem?
The charge -Q on plate B comes from the charge +Q of plate A. All of the electrons from the conductor (plate B and C) will move to plate B because of the +Q of plate A right?
Homework Statement
Exactly from my homework:
"It is assumed that for capacitors 'in series' that each capacitor carries the same charge Q. Give a physical argument for this. Why does this make sense?"
