Question 1:

Two condensers connected in series will be charged such that one gets +Q charge on one of its plates, and the other -Q.

Schematic: ------(-Q)| |(a)------(b)| |(+Q)-------

Can somebody prove (or at least show) intuitively to me why the plate "a" gets a +Q charge, and the plate "b" -Q?

Question 2:

A dialectic is inserted into a condenser made up of two plates. Afterwards, the condenser acts like it is two condensers connected in series. Why?
