Will two capacitors in series will have same charge even they have different capacitance?

Solution:

 The total or equivalent capacitance, CT of a circuit containing Capacitors in Series is the reciprocal of the sum of the reciprocals of all of the individual capacitance’s added together.

Also for capacitors connected in series, all the series connected capacitors will have the same charging current flowing through them as iT = i1 = i2 = i3 etc. Two or more capacitors in series will always have equal amounts of coulomb charge across their plates.

As the charge, ( Q ) is equal and constant, the voltage drop across the capacitor is determined by the value of the capacitor only as V = Q ÷ C. A small capacitance value will result in a larger voltage while a large value of capacitance will result in a smaller voltage drop.
