Jul 11, 2012 at 18:47 comment added Bryan B Federico, given a spherical cow on a frictionless surface :) (which is what your math is doing), why do you assume the voltage will end up at 1/2V? If the charge is constant, I'd imagine both caps would settle in at something more like 0.71V ... preserving the stored energy.

Apr 9, 2012 at 15:59 comment added W5VO @OlinLathrop Yes, you're right.
Apr 9, 2012 at 15:43 comment added Olin Lathrop W5Vo: You are forgetting that charge must also be conserved.

Apr 9, 2012 at 15:00 comment added Federico Russo @W5VO: How's that? I don't see anything about losses in the equations.
