Suppose I connect two capacitors in series across a battery. Label the four
capacitor plates from left to right as A, B, C, and D. Okay, suppose A is
connected to the positive terminal of the battery, so out goes charge +Q to
it, and compensating charge off D, leaving -Q on it. My question is: why
does the charge on B and C have to be -Q and +Q, respectively?
