I have seen some interesting explanation about the capacitor problem. Here I would like to atack the problem in another way. Whenever you talk about the combination of a capacitor and a zero resistance, you expect a infinite current (since i=c(dv/dt)), which means there is a high frequency. OK. that's enough. Do you still remember the assumption of KVL? so, the good old "network theory" is nolonger valid here, since the "components" can nolonger be specified as they apea "should" be. THat is why we need Mr Maxwell even if Mr. Ohm exists.
