Hi
I have a small circuit that is using a logic level gate Mosfet to fire a solenoid. The solenoid is powered from a 9v battery and will only be energised for about 5-10ms.
I am planning on using a capacitor to supply the initial power booster to energise the soleniod. The problem I have is calaculating the capacitor size, I could use trial and error but would rather get it right from the start.
I am after a formula to calculate this value if any one can point me in the right direction.
