Strategy Ruminations

@someother,

That's incorrect. I and V should not be in phase. The current I is leading the voltage V in a RC circuit. What you're doing is you're measuring the R current as if C is absent. You have to consider the effect of C on the current too so place the I probe where I've placed it (to keep the proper sense of the current too).

Also, study just one period -- 1.25us to 2.5us with a 1.25ns increment.

Okay, here is the new data.
However, I don't understand the phase difference before and after the capacitor. It seems that is is out of phase after the capacitor, and before the capacitor (across the resistor) it is in phase with the voltage? This is what I see from the simulation.

I am not sure about my calculations, I think I miss something. If this is true, it will be interesting to test it in the kW range.

Correct. That's a quirk of the program. When the probe is between the resistor and the cap it ignores the cap and measures as if the cap isn't there. That's why you have to place it the way you've done it now.

@someother,

Something isn't right with the data. First, like I said, do the sim for just one period -- from 1.25us to 2.5us at 1.25ns increments. Then, Pout is Ii*Ii*R and not just Ii*R, as you have it. Also, after you've calculated the momentary Pin and Pout calculate the AVERAGE, not the SUM as you've done. Also, inspect the I and V data and see if it's correct. Again, the important thing is to do it for one period and to start from 1.25ns to avoid some initial ripples due to the program.

You're in no position to ask for anything.  Omnibus does not work for you, yet you act like he owes you a circuit.  He works at his own pace.  If you don't like it, don't follow his work.

strange... you the one who always claimed "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence"... or is that only where you deem it applies?

i'm not acting like he owes me anything... i asked him if he had constructed the simple circuit in reality. he then decided to play lawyer games with his words. go cry to your mommie utilitarian, i don't care what you think. a simulation is not a device. a simulator is... the simulation is not. even a 5 year old knows this...
