Why do capacitors 'in series' each carry the same charge?
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?- jrdelacruz

Why do capacitors 'in series' each carry the same charge?
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?- jrdelacruz

Why do capacitors 'in series' each carry the same charge?
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?" Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution I've tried searching for the...- jrdelacruz
