Why do you bring up this irrelevent drive,l?

It is entirely relevant to your previous post. That's why I posted it.
I know if I posted asinine drivel like you I would probably be eager
to forget it too. But here I'll paste it here for you to jar your
feeble brain.

Ring any bells? The first sentence shows your ignorance.This is
entirely dependent on the capacitor type as well as the application it
is applied to.Depending on the ripple current 0.1 ohm may not be
negligible let alone 5.
You know there are some people who can be arrogant about a subject
I've met a very few ,but you sure aren't one of them. You should
follow some simple advice if you don't know what your talking about
STFU.At the very least dont come off like an arrogant obnoxious ass.

Christ your a moron what about duty cycle this has no effect on the
average of your Theoretical square wave? Consider also transient
excursions and rise fall times if you want to get anal about it.
Any idiot can quote formulas some one else derived for well known
waveforms they are in every power electronics book.Mind you you seem
to be haveing trouble interpeting those. It's when youy get to non
periodic waveforms it gets intresting.
>This is not a technically correct explanation BTW but I'm trying to

so right you are there.

Transients are exactly that.

What the hell are you talking about.
Transient defintion http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/transient
A transient phenomenon, especially an electric current; a very brief
surge.
excursions defintion http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/excursion
A brief recreational trip; a journey out of the usual way
So you would consider modulated waveforms (digital/ data/audio) as
transients. Thats a pretty unique interpetation. Wow I could have made
my testing much simpler when asked to identify modulation tequniques
all I had to say is it's a transient.
Do you even know the difference between a periodic wave an a
non-periodic wave?
