Hi everyone,
I am a bit confused about the operation of a boost converter, mainly with the changing current. In the attached image I replaced the diode with a switch. Now I keep reading that once the turn my W1 switch off and turn on my W4 switch the current will decrease and the voltage will drop. If the resistance of the W4 switch is the same as the W1 switch wouldn't that mean that I just simply switched paths of the current flow, but kept the resistance the same and therefore the current would be kept constant?
