(another problem but less differential equations-sy)
Consider a circuit where there is an effective resistor in parallel with an effective capacitor.
Each effective capacitor consists of two capacitors in series, same for the resistor.
Now, when the capacitors are uncharged, all the current is flowing through the capacitors and not through the resistors.
However, since the capacitors are uncharged, the voltage drop across them is zero. Since there is no current through the resistors, the current through them is also zero.
But the total voltage drop must be the voltage drop of the battery! Yet I seem to be getting zero!
