Abstract

The voltage waveform that minimize the energy loss in the resistance when charging the capacitor in a resistor–capacitor circuit is investigated using the calculus of variation. A linear voltage ramp gives the best efficiency, which means a constant current source should be used for charging. Comparison between constant current source and battery-powered system is made to illustrate the energy advantage of the former.
