Hey guys,
I was wondering why we can not have instantaneous voltage through a capacitor and instantaneous current through inductor?, Can you explain to me why it can't happen mathematically, and physically?
I know that Voltage in a capacitor is V = C dv/dt
and current in inductor is i = L di/dt
for voltage
if the voltage jumps instantaneously, then the slope of the graph is infinite
if the current jumps instantaneously, then the slope of the graph is infinite as well.
