Re: Capacitor problem, another question



Let me just comment that many of the problems being raised go away if
we free ourselves from macroscopic circuit models and go down to the
particle level. Then no matter how you slice it, you have the radiation
and/or collisional losses associated with moving (accelerating) charges.

Things like capacitors, inductances and resistors say more about our
human modes of macroscopic thinking than about the elemental objective
reality under consideration.
