Question: Suppose the capacitor on the right is given a charge of six volts. This charge will leak onto the ground and also into the capacitor on the left. Will the charge on the lefthand capacitor ever be higher than the charge on the right hand capacitor?
We can model this situation by the following system of differential equations where x is the charge on the lefthand capacitor and y is the charge on the righthand capacitor.
The initial conditions are x(0) = 0 and y(0) = 6.
