    What Causes the Energy Discrepancy in Capacitor Charge Transfers?

    When performing the above experiment with larger Capacitors and assorted loads/resistors and a calorimeter-- I have observed the following results: For example, when discharging C2 (17.48v to 0v) through load to ground, consistently produced around 95-98% as much heat when compared to C1 (19v...

    What Causes the Energy Discrepancy in Capacitor Charge Transfers?

    Thanks Guys excellent info. Do any of you know anything about the "capacitor paradox". After a little research, found this... Could this be what I'm up against?If I'm breaking off the original question to much, let me know and I will start a new thread if needed. Thanks Brad

    What Causes the Energy Discrepancy in Capacitor Charge Transfers?

    I may have a mathematical anomaly concerning the energy transfer between two capacitors. Here is the experiment: CAPACITOR SPECS COULOMBS JOULES CAPACITOR 1 aka C1 C1 11200UF@19V @ 19V 212.8m...
