You remind me of those cretins that change names constantly -
pops up without any obvious reason, scrabbles a few meaningless
one-liners such as "easily provable based on the differential equation
describing capacitor discharge" and thEn disappears again.
Let's see your proof that half the charge on a capacitor will be lost in
an inductive load such as the motor on a Prism.
There's the challenge; salary is irrelevant, you haven't got the job yet.
