MH's ideal coil and voltage question

[MileHigh]

I don't know why this is being discussed again because I already discussed it with Magluvin on the other thread.  If you can imagine a cap transfer where no energy is lost and the two caps are at 7.071 volts then you need more charge than is in the original cap sitting at 10 volts.  An idealized arrangement with a coil and a switch can do this.  Without the idealized arrangement the initial amount of charge in the original cap loses some energy through resistance when it spreads itself out between the two caps.

Conservation of charge equals conservation of momentum in the two colliding masses example.

  What you'll have to do is brush-up on yer polynomial integrals !

Energy stored on a capacitor has counterintuitive elements.

Why would that be John?

I think he wrote that, because two electrons can represent different energies depending on their separation distance and the work needed to move them closer together is a result of their repulsion force integrated over the distance of their approach. 
Reminder: The instantaneous repulsion force of two electrons is inversely proportional to the square of the distance (1/d²) between them.

BTW: this is an example how the same amount of charge (here, the two electrons) can represent very different levels of energy.
In other words: Charge alone, is not energy.
