A capacitor paradox is an electromagnetic problem designed to show the limits of circuit theory which considers the connection of two ideal capacitors, one charged and the second discharged. A blind solution to this problem leads to the non-conservation of energy and, thus, to a paradox. In this text an attempt is made to isolate the inductance part of the problem in the form of wave-guiding phenomenon, providing yet another point of view of this intriguing educational problem.
