Re: Basic Capacitor Question

A capacitor c1 is charged to 6V, and then connected to an initially uncharged capacitor in parallel though an ideal switch at t=0. What is the current through the switch at time t=0 assume ideal caps?
Thanks

Added after 1 minutes:

C1=1nF, C2=2nF
 

Re: Basic Capacitor Question

current would be infinity
as for ideal capacitor at t = 0 the equivalent circuit is shorted voltage source
