Janicholson said: (quoted from post at 11:46:47 08/22/10) The following scope patterns illustrate our point, the intermediate pattern, after the firing line extinguishes, is a trace of the energy in the coil dissipating through resistance/heat as the current charges and discharges (oscillates) into and out of the condenser. Not through it! With respect, Jim
If no current ever passes through the capacitor, then don't even connect a current carrying conductor to it!!! Go put a clamp on amp probe on it for Christ sake and measure it! Unbelievable!
Make it real simple: connect a capacitor, an ammeter (ma scale) and a battery in a series loop...if the ammeter needle jumps when you connect & reverse connect the battery, then you will have observed current flowing THROUGH the capacitor and you WILL observe that.
Charge on a capacitor is Coulombs. Current is Coulombs per second. No current flow??? Current only flows in a closed loop.
