I'm not interested in what list members may have calculated;

David - If you reread what I said - I'm not refering to the resistor at
simply challenging you - since your accepted an energy of 1/2 CV^2 in thewith the
capacitor in your recent posting - to show how an identical capacitor
same charge (and therefore field) could have any other value for it'senergy even
if it were charged without a resistor, i.e. from another capacitor - oran
inductor in a switched circuit - or any of the other proposals thatpeople have
brought up on this list.
Again, I'm curious only about your claimed value for thethe
energy stored in the capacitor - even after it has been disconnected from
charging circuit and removed far from its location.
