Hi All,

I have some question about circulating power.

What is definition of the circulating power ?

Which is the correct formula for calculating circulating power in ideal 
condenser discharge oscillating circuit ?

1.) 1/2*C*U^2 / one quarter of the period of oscillation ( 1/4 * T ),

2.) 1/2*C*U^2 / one half of the period of oscillation ( 1/2 * T ) or

3.) 1/2*C*U^2 / one period of oscillation ( T )

Thanx,
Zoran.
