Newbies are invited to Google on "conservation of charge". (AND run the math problem I previously posted.) John is so full of it I'd bet his eyes are brown ;-) Unfortunately, Adrian Jansen mis-states the results as well :-( ...Jim Thompson -- | James E.Thompson, CTO | mens | | Analog Innovations, Inc. | et | | Analog/Mixed-Signal ASIC's and Discrete Systems | manus | | Phoenix, Arizona 85048 Skype: Contacts Only | | | Voice:(480)460-2350 Fax: Available upon request | Brass Rat | | E-mail Icon at http://www.analog-innovations.com | 1962 | Obama: A reincarnation of Nixon, narcissistically posing in politically-correct black-face, but with fewer scruples.

Simple thought experiments can resolve the dilemma. John

The operative phrase must be, "and do it efficiently." This is easy to do, with a dc-dc converter for example, or a mosfet switch and an inductor. In these cases it's easy to manipulate E1 and E2, C1*V1^2 = C2*V2^2. Forget about charge. -- Thanks, - Win |
