When the switch is first closed, the voltage across the capacitor (which we were told was fully discharged) is zero volts; thus, it first behaves as though it were a short-circuit. Over time, the capacitor voltage will rise to equal battery voltage, ending in a condition where the capacitor behaves as an open-circuit.
Capacitor: at t=0 is like a closed circuit (short circuit) at 't=infinite' is like open circuit (no current through the capacitor) Long Answer: A capacitors charge is given by Vt = V(1 −e(−t/RC)) V t = V (1 − e (− t / R C)) where V is the applied voltage to the circuit, R is the series resistance and C is the parallel capacitance.
The capacitor acts as open circuit when it is in its steady state like when the switch is closed or opened for long time.
The capacitor will become fully charged after a long time. Close both S1 and S2 and wait a long time... No current flows through the capacitor after a long time. This will always be the case in any static circuit!! A circuit is wired up as shown below. The capacitor is initially uncharged and switches S1 Now after a very long time?
As soon we close the switch the capacitor will get charged instantaneously (yes it could lead to I = ∞ at t = 0 but it can be avoided if even a small resistor is placed between capacitor and voltage source. And we can never get the resistance of those wires down to 0 ).
Over time, the capacitor’s terminal voltage rises to meet the applied voltage from the source, and the current through the capacitor decreases correspondingly. Once the capacitor has reached the full voltage of the source, it will stop drawing current from it, and behave essentially as an open-circuit.

What is the current through the right resistor immediately after switch 2 is closed? "I = V / total resistance which is 3R." "The capacitor has potential difference V across its plates. When that charge is given a path from one plate to another, it will travel through the resistor until the plates are at equal potential"

Continuity of capacitive voltage and inductive current
It is really easy for the switch to "request" an instantaneous change of current. All you have to do is open or close the switch. Throwing the switch from closed to open could mean a change of current going from $100,text{mA}$ to $0,text{mA}$ in no time $(Delta i = 0 - 100,text{mA}$ while $Delta t = 0)$, for example. Inductors don ...

8.2: Capacitors and Capacitance
Typically, commercial capacitors have two conducting parts close to one another but not touching, such as those in Figure (PageIndex{1}). Most of the time, a dielectric is used between the two plates. When battery terminals are connected to an initially uncharged capacitor, the battery potential moves a small amount of charge of magnitude (Q) from the …

Chapter 12: Capacitors Under DC Conditions
When S1 is open and S2 closes, the capacitor discharge cycle starts. At the first instant, circuit voltage attempts to go from source potential (6 volts) to zero volts, as shown in graph (A). Remember, though, the capacitor during the charge cycle has stored energy in an electrostatic field.

Capacitors in Circuit: Voltage, Charge, and Switch Behavior …
With switch open you have a 40V and a 10V voltage drop in both the resistor and capacitor branches - but they are at the opposite right way round aren''t they?. Nevermind you can calculate the charges with switch open easily. Then after you close the switch and come to new equilibrium the voltage at the junction points will be the same as it is in the resistance branch …
