RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Capacitance

One thing to add: The energy stored in a capacitor is the integral of the work
done charging it, and the work is proportional to the voltage already there from
the charging done so far. As a result, the energy is 1/2 CV^2 (i.e. half of the
capacitance times the square of the voltage). So 1 farad charged to 1 volt
contains 1/2 joule of energy, but at 2 volts, 2 joules, 100 volts, 5000 joules,
etc.
