...-Q
1) First a minor comment. I disagree with a statement David made. He
wrote: "If the charges on plates B and C of the interior plates were not
and +Q respectively then there would be an electric field in the region
between the capacitors . . ."
If we look at an ideal case where the two capacitors are well approximated
by two infinite parallel plate capacitors far apart and connected by a very
thin wire. We can model the static charge distribution as 4 sheets of
charge and the field in between the two plates is zero, even if the
interior charges are +- 1.1 Q.
