If you're talking about capacitor connected in series than the charge on each of the capacitor would be same since charge induced on the left plate of capacitor I.e +Q would then induce charge on the right plate of the capacitor as -Q (equal in magnitude but opposite charge) then again the other capacitor next to it would generate +Q charge and so on.

Ok i hope you know how a capcitors looks and its construction , this much basic is enough, so it got two parallel plates and some diaelectric between them ,now when its connected across a battery then the battery will add some electrons on one of the plates (let's say on the upper plate) but total electrons entangled in your circuit is always constant a power source cannot create or destroy electrons it just helps the electrons to move around in the circuit and create a potential diffrence, only that !!
So  for every electron you add on the top of the plate (upper plate) you gotta remove the same amount of electron from the bottom of the plate 
which means nothing but the charge accumulated (negetive charge) on the top of the plate is equals to the charge removed from the (postive charge) bottom of the plate, and they must be equal for the conservation of charge 
This explains the phenomena nicely

Aleksandr [31]
Answer:
Explain step by step
Explanation:
Collisions with asteroids, comets and other stuff from space have been responsible for huge landmarks in our planet’s history: global shifts in climate, the creation of our moon, the reshuffling of our deepest geology, and the extinction of species.

Asteroid threats pop up in the news every now and then, but the buzz tends to fizzle away as the projectiles pass us by. Other times, as with the 2013 Chelyabinsk meteor in Russia, we don’t know they’re here until they’re here.
Perhaps most useful to remember is that when near-Earth objects (including asteroids, comets and meteoroids) enter the atmosphere, they’re called meteors; and if there’s anything left when they hit the ground, the resulting object is called a meteorite. We tend to focus on asteroids when talking about potential collisions, because they’re more likely to hit us than other stuff like comets, but still big enough to pose a threat.

Answer:

It's an Angle of incidence that provides a 90° angle but is also refracted at the same time. it's used to find the water-air boundary (which is 48.6 degrees). in addition, its an angle of incidence value.

Help meee please fill in the blanks !!
Ratling [72]

The atomic number is the simply the number of protons in the atom. So in the first row with atomic number 2, the number of protons is 2.

If the atom has no charge, which I think you can assume for all of these, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons. So the number of electrons is also 2.

The number of neutrons (which are the particles with no charge in the nucleus) is simply the mass number minus the atomic number i.e. 4 - 2 = 2.

The isotopic symbol is the symbol which is found on the periodic table of elements. There are 2 numbers associated which each element on the table. The larger is the mass number and the smaller is the atomic number. The atomic number or number of protons is what identifies the element. Looking at the periodic table ( https://sciencenotes.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/PeriodicTableOfTheElementsBW.pdf or https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodic_table_(big) ), it can be seen that the element on the first row above with an atomic number of 2 is Helium with a symbol He. The number that is included with the name is simply the mass number which is 4 in this case, which tells us that this type of helium has 2 neutrons.

Another type (or isotope) of helium is Helium-3 which has one neutron.

Try the next row and post back if you have trouble with it
