Now where's your solution to Larkin's Folly #9 ?:-) Damn it, Jim!

In the end I had to take his bicycle away.

I _knew_ charge has to be conserved, but I finally saw the answer while half dozing at a granddaughter's swim party :-) ...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 | Since New Yorkers think it appropriate to boycott Arizona over stopping illegal immigration and drug trafficking, I suggest that everyone else support building the Muslim Monument at Ground Zero

The circuit passes a charge thru a capacitor. For every electron that enters the + end another electron leaves the - end. So the capacitor doesn't store charge with respect to the external circuit any more than a resistor does. Art
