Charge distribution on capacitors connected in series

For series connected capacitors, the charging current flowing through the capacitors is the same for all capacitors as there is only one path to follow. Since capacitors in series all have the same current flowing through them, each capacitor will store the same amount of electrical charge, Q, on its plates regardless of its capacitance. ...

How does current flow in a circuit with a capacitor?

$begingroup$ Correct me if I am wrong, but how does the capacitor pass current when it is in series with an AC signal source? The current "passes" but not in the way that you expect. Since the voltage changes sinusoidally, the voltages also changes across the capacitor, which gives rise to an EMF that induces a current on the other side of the capacitor.

6.1.2: Capacitance and Capacitors

Capacitors in Series and in Parallel. Multiple capacitors placed in series and/or parallel do not behave in the same manner as resistors. Placing capacitors in parallel increases overall plate area, and thus increases capacitance, as indicated by Equation ref{8.4}. Therefore capacitors in parallel add in value, behaving like resistors in series.
