1 Joule is 1 watt delivered for 1 second of time. Regardless of any circuit component, this is the case.
I believe I stated the conditions to have 10 watts in 1 second correctly, didn't I? The only thing that changes is the overall circuit impedance and you end up with more power or less power, from that same 1 Joule of power, right?
I don't understand how the change of circuit impedance to .1 ohm with all other circuit aspects the same as noted in your example doesn't automatically make the 1 watt for 1 second now 10 watts for 1 second.
What factors/aspects am I missing?
Oh nevermind. I see... the manipulation then is in Time. However its not necessarily tied to the DUTY Cycle is it? It is because the full charge of 1 Joule was discharged in .1 second... but then is the .1 second the same as the .1ohm resistance? Is resistance time?
Could not the same thing be achieved by just lowering the circuit impedance to .1ohms while retaining the 1 second ON duty for the discharge? Wouldn't the result be that the 10watts was delivered instantly at turn ON and slowly tapered down sorta like the 5Time Constants idea? Or is the loss evinced because the Duty was on 9/10s of a second more than it needed to be?
Sorry for the questions, just trying to make sure I understand the concept.

Something isn't adding up for me.
Thanks,
