Very simply, I can't understand why the charges of capacitors placed in series are all the same, and why even the total one(of the circuit) is equal to those.
How is it possible that the total charge is the same as the individual ones?
There must be some concept/property about capacitors which I'm not getting.
On the other hand, for parallel capacitors, the total charge is the sum of those of the single capacitors, and that's what I would assume generally and logically.
