Do capacitors and inductors initially store energy

Capacitors and inductors | Understandable Electric Circuits

A capacitor can store energy in the electric field, and an inductor can store energy in the magnetic field. This is different with a resistor that consumes or dissipates electric energy.

What are the behaviors of capacitors and inductors at time t=0?

Do capacitors act as an open circuits or closed circuits at time t=0? Why? What about inductors? I tried it out, and what I got was this: Initially when I opened the switch, the capacitor acted like a
