The vertical wire drawn next to the vertical capacitor shorts the two terminals of the capacitor. Any current flowing through this circuit segment will flow through the vertical wire and completely bypass the vertical capacitor due to the short. This means you can ignore the shorted capacitor -- it has no effect on the circuit.
Current impulse is not nearly as interesting as voltage impulse. @user29568, a capacitor acts as short circuit in two different limits: (1) as an AC short circuit as the frequency goes to infinity and (2) as an actual short circuit (assuming the capacitor is uncharged) as C goes to infinity.
The high current through a low resistance causes significant heating due to the power dissipated by the ESR, determined by P = I^2*R. This heating degrades the capacitor and can cause long-term damage. You should always discharge a capacitor through an external resistance to limit the current and minimize heating.
By having their shorted terminals, the voltage thereof is zero (more precisely, the potential difference between them), so that this element is not operational in the circuit, and can be removed for analysis. The other two capacitors are in series, hence that:
It doesn't act like a short circuit for a current impulse. Here's the equation that defines the ideal capacitor: iC(t) = C ⋅ d dtvC(t) Applying the Laplace transform to this equation (assuming zero initial conditions) yields IC(s) = sC ⋅ VC(s) The Laplace transform for the unit impulse is δ(t) ⇔ 1
The open circuit failure mode results in an almost complete loss of capacitance. The high ESR failure can result in self heating of the capacitor which leads to an increase of internal pressure in the case and loss of electrolyte as the case seal fails and areas local to the capacitor are contaminated with acidic liquid.
