Teljkon.....I do apologize if I confused you more. This thread was to help new comers trying to understand capacitance. It was a follow up to a homework post. Unfamiliar with electronics.

Not a calculus class. It was an hayseed analogy to show a particular concept. I use see-saws for op-amps, squiggles for signals, wagon wheels for signal beating and phase and a clock to explain true orbits. It was just to get a click. You know......and then it clicked.

I was trying to show that the energy change, was dependent not only on the voltage, but also the capacity or capacitance. The capacitor value is a ratio setter. It sets the voltage to charge ratio. That ratio also sets the power ratio, along the voltage scale.

And because of that, there is no paradox.

The area of the base of the cone represented energy. No volume was used. Just base area(charge) and height(voltage). Just trying to show how area(energy) changed with voltage.

I did not mathematically check or match it up. Just trying to show that there is more than one factor with the energy of cap. Many examples can be used.

Lifting charge against voltage is different than lifting mass against gravity.

No worries because I myself am a visual thinker I am pushing the "hayseed analogy" to the max only because if I can understand where it breaks down. It may help me glean a better or clearer understanding of how things really work. Sadly this forum dose not like my rain-deer games nor yours so ..... guess they should get back to that BJ thing.

 

Why? You offering?

I won the toss, I choose to receive. My first question was just to clarify your first ambiguous post.

Don't take a Rocket scientist or Electrical engineer to know where your two minds are at. ....
Talk about the train jumping the tracks.
So I see even Electrical genius can be dirty old men.

Yeah. I like Wholesale Club shopping:

I also have Costco and Sam's memberships.

 

I was thinking of patenting the idea. Care to pay royalties?

I think @joeyd999 is the closest to getting it right but I ain't gonna pay you royalties!
Besides, analogies are good for beginners but should be abandoned when you understand the concept.
