Assuming that the author of the quote you cite means what he appears
If this is true, doesn't it imply that, when the capacitor is
discharged, only half of the energy stored on the capacitor will be
dissipated as heat in the resistor, therefore, the calorimeter
experiment would only give _half_ of the energy stored on the capacitor?
to have said (which I doubt), do you have a suggestion for a home for
the half of the energy that appears, by this statement, to be missing?
