For a very basic battery and capacitor circuit, half of the energy produced by the battery is lost, and half is stored in the capacitor in the form of an electric field.
We have taken an ideal circuit, so energy lost in the form of heat due to some internal resistance is nearly zero. We have taken everything as ideal, still energy is lost according to the mathematical equation.
My question:
Where this energy is lost?
Why isn't the reason of loss of energy found mathematically - like we get during resistance $H=VIt$ ?
