Derive the equivalent circuit for a parallel connection of ideal capacitors. Assume that the initial voltage across the paralleled capacitors is v(t0). (Hint: Sum the currents into the string of capacitors, recognizing that the parallel connection forces the voltage across each capacitor to be the same.)
