Answer #1

The reading for 2 capacitors connected in series within a circuit actually differs from what is calculated by I = Q/s because in the equation I = Q/s , Q is the charge flowing , Ultima this equation is the rate of flow of charges . But the Q in the capacitors is not the charges flowing , but capacitors are actually storing charges and this storing of charges is not uniform in capacitors.

The charges stored in the capacitor is according to the formula,

Where R is the equivalent resistance of circuit.

C is the equivalent capacitance of circuit.
