Title :
Conservation of Energy in the Discharge of an Ideal Capacitor Structure

Williams, Everard M.
Abstract :
An ancient "chestnut" of circuit theory is the energy discrepancy associated with the switching of a charged ideal capacitor. It is suggested that the problem of interest should instead be that of an ideal capacitor structure, for which a field analysis results always in energy conservation and is of practical significance.
