In this work we suggest very simple solution of the two capacitors paradox in the completely ideal (without any electrical resistance or inductive) electrical circuit. Namely, it is shown that electrical field energy loss corresponds to works done by electrical fields of both capacitors by movement of the electrical charge. It is all and nothing more (some dissipation processes, e.g. Joule heating and electromagnetic wave emission effects) is necessary. Additionally, we shortly demonstrate a simple mechanical analogy of mentioned paradox and its solution. Concretely we consider two water buckets connected by a valve where is a seeming loss of the gravitational potential energy that can be explained by the work in the gravitational field.
