Charging Electrical Capacitance Corresponding to the Minimum of Dissipative Losses

  • Published:
Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics Aims and scope

The problem on the law of charging a nonlinear electrical capacitance (storage cell, capacitor) that would correspond to the minimum of dissipative energy losses has been solved. The duration of the process, the final and initial energy reserves are fixed. It is shown that the relationship between the charging current and the voltage across the capacitance for the optimal charging law is the same for any dependences of the capacitance on voltage.
