Equal Plate Charges on Series Capacitors?
Illman, B. L.; Carlson, G. T.
Physics Teacher, v32 n2 p77-80 Feb 1994
Provides a line of reasoning in support of the contention that the equal charge proposition is at best an approximation. Shows how the assumption of equal plate charge on capacitors in series contradicts the conservative nature of the electric field. (ZWH)
