So, If I have an inductor with a steady current through it, and its power is cut, and the collapse fills a capacitor, (picture a boost converter) can you calculate the voltage that the capacitor will fill to?
I was thinking, the energy stored in a coil is P=.5L x I^2 where L is inductance, and I is current,
And since the equation for energy stored in a cap is P=.5C x I^2 so...
set one equal to the other and you can find how much current a capacitor discharged into a coil will create, and how much voltage a coil discharging into a cap will create, (minus losses of course).
Seem like a reasonable plan of attack?
