Dividing by zero is in fact possible. Ask us electrical engineers.

1/0 = positive infinity

How do I know? The impedance of a capacitor for a 0Hz signal is positive infinity.

read up, maybe you'll learn something today after all.

Even in ideal conditions notion that capacitor's impedance is infinite at magical ((steady state)) means:

>The capacitor continues charging up and the voltage difference between Vs and Vc reduces, so to does the circuit current, i. Then at its final condition greater than five time constants ( 5T ) when the capacitor is said to be fully charged, t = ∞, i = 0, q = Q = CV. Then at infinity the current diminishes to zero, the capacitor acts like an open circuit condition therefore, the voltage drop is entirely across the capacitor.

meaning system never actually reaches equilibrium but only approaches it (limit behavior), you just cut it at certain point and scream "muh infinity"

A battery doesn’t short itself because it supplies DC and there is no conducting path between its terminals. It’s terminals actually have some capacitance but it is so small it is negligible. Not to mention the fact a dielectric like air need not have infinite resistance, it just needs to be a good insulator for the specified voltage. So basically, you’re retarded.

No fucking shit.

And neither does any dialectric period, because that is very literally impossible.
>So basically, you’re retarded.
So basically you're brain-dead and you just proved my point dumbfucking retard. If you bring the terminals of a battery extremely close together with dry air as your dialectric, (and since it's a battery, supplying a "0hz signal") nothing special will happen. You apply a BETTER dialectric because you get a much higher capacitance, and can store higher amounts of charge with lower voltages. There's fucking nothing magical about a capacitor retard.
