Mar 5, 2020 at 23:33 comment added Farcher A very detailed paper A capacitor paradox by Kirk T McDonald and from this website Energy lost in capacitors.
Mar 5, 2020 at 23:23 comment added Bob D @JoshuaRonis Check this out: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two_capacitor_paradox Its the same idea that Farcher pointed out, but using one capacitor to charge another.
Mar 5, 2020 at 23:12 comment added joshuaronis @Farcher thank you. Could you pherhaps link that answer? I can't find it....Thanks again.
Mar 5, 2020 at 23:02 comment added Farcher If you use the search engine for this website you will find a more detailed explanation of the fact that the rest of the energy is dissipated as heat in the resistance which is in the circuit (and electromagnetic radiation which is emitted because the the accelerating unbound mobile charges in the circuit).
