The classical two-capacitor problem shows a mysterious lose of energy even under lossless conditions and questions the basic understanding of energy relation in a capacitor. Here, we present a solution to the classical two-capacitor problem. We find that by reinterpreting the energy calculations we achieve no lose of energy thereby obeying the conservation of energy law.
