In an RC circuit diagram, if there are two capacitors on either side of a corner, but they are not parallel, would they be considered a series?
I'm not sure if my description makes sense, but I don't know how else to explain it...maybe, imagine a square, and stick one corner in between the two capacitors...

If they're not paralled they'd have to be in series.

Two capacitors connected together by just one end are in series. Forget about the spatial layout. Series capacitors can be drawn side-by-side or in any orientation.

If the all of the current passing through one of the capacitors must pass through the other capacitor then they are in series.

Yep, they're in series. Just bending the wire 90 degrees doesn't change it. Keep tracing the path.

Yes, they would be in series.
