Energy Calculation

The energy W consumed over time t due to power P dissipated in a resistance R carrying a current I with a voltage drop V is:
W = Pt = V2t / R = VIt = I2tR

Similarly, the energy W consumed over time t due to power P dissipated in a conductance G carrying a current I with a voltage drop V is:
W = Pt = V2tG = VIt = I2t / G

The energy W stored in a capacitance C holding voltage V with charge Q is:
W = CV2 / 2 = QV / 2 = Q2 / 2C

The energy W stored in an inductance L carrying current I with magnetic linkage Y is:
W = LI2 / 2 = YI / 2 = Y2 / 2L
