Question 2: First, consider the bottom part of the circuit:
a) Immediately after both switches have been closed, is there a potential difference along the wire between
the bottom plate of the charged capacitor and the bottom plate of the uncharged capacitor? Hint: Consider
the distribution of charges at this moment, and consider a real wire with nonzero resistance.
b) Now consider the top part of the circuit and describe whether there is a potential difference along the
wire immediately after both switches have been closed.
c) What happens to the charge on the bottom plate if the bottom switch is closed but the top switch is left
open?
