If you have veual value caps C1 charged and C2 not, and you connect them with an inductor, you get a ringing oscillation that goes forever. Charge is continually exchanged between the caps. At the half-cycle point, all the charge and all the energy have been transferred from C1 to C2. At that instant, you could disconnect the inductor, or leave it in place and the charge will slosh back into C1. This is just a simple ringing tank circuit. With ideal components, no energy is lost, at the instant of connection or later. Real circuits, with real losses, can closely approximate this situation. Q=200 is perfectly reasonable. John

There was energy stored in each capacitor before closing the switch. There is none afterwards. Where did it go? How did it get there?
