  An anomaly in electrical circuit theory is the disappearance of some of the
energy when two capacitors, one charged and the other uncharged, are connected
together through resistanceless wires. Nonstandard analysis shows that, when
the wires are taken to have infinitesimally small but nonzero resistance, the
energy dissipated in the wires equals that substantial amount of enregy that
had disappeared, and that all but an infinitesimal amount of this dissipation
occurs during an infinitesimal initial time period.
