Is this a valid Joules formula anyone has heard of? It seems to work for the few examples I have written down. I'm just curious if anyone has seen it before.
I came up with it trying to equate volts to joules but had to include a function of time (via resistance) to make it work, i.e. this: joules = (V/R * C) * V/C and came up with the shorter one here:
J=V^2 / R
J=Joules
V=Voltage
R=Resistance
C=Coulomb
In otherwords, since we know V = J / C , I was trying to equate Volts and Joules and switch them (J = V / C). But it wouldn't work without a function of time attached to volts. Hence the formula above, thus suggesting we are missing a "times resistance" or "times seconds" somewhere in the basic formulas (as so much confusion arises over the whole 1 second assumed granularity thing).
Interestingly, when I simplified the above first theoretical formula, Coulomb (mass?) canceled out and only resistance (time??) was left...
and another thought..we always see V = I X R but Amps (I) already implies time (per second).
