Two capacitor paradox
text:
The two capacitor paradox or capacitor paradox is a paradox, or counterintuitive thought experiment, in electric circuit theory. The thought experiment is usually described as follows: Two identical capacitors are connected in parallel with an open switch between them. One of the capacitors is charged with a voltage of V i , the other is uncharged. When the switch is closed, some of the charge Q = C V i on the first capacitor flows into the second, reducing the voltage on the first and increasin
