Re: RC discharge energy
Ok, thanks everyone, i think that is clear:
In the RC discharge circuit (with finite R≠0 and C values), the Energy dissipated in the R does not depend on its value.
So, the dissipated discharge energy (integrated power) for a given C and V is constant.
Now my real problem is not for this RC circuit but for a C||-R-||C circuit.
Discharge of one capacitor "inside" the other, trough an R. I talk for paralleling a charged with a discharged capacitor through one resistor.
**broken link removed**
In this circuit topology, what is the role of the R?
The same principle applies?
The dissipated energy (as heat) in the resistor is constant and does not depends on its value?
Or more practically, (if we assume that I replace the R with a mosfet) the power dissipated on the mosfet does not depend on its own Rds(on)?(!)
How I can calculate the amount of energy dissipated in the resistor and the amount transfered to the (discharged) capacitor ?
What are the equations describing this circuit topology? (I,V,C,E ?)
Any help or reference appreciated
