JOULE SCHOOL - Pulse Energy Calculator

Square Wave Pulse

A constant voltage or current is applied across a resistor for a given pulse duration.

Square Wave Pulse Energy
Square Wave Pulse EnergyE = Pulse Energy

P = Pulse Power

t = Pulse Duration

E = P t
To calculate Pulse Energy, enter the Pulse Power and Pulse Duration, then click Compute.

Variables

If Pulse Power is unknown, enter any two of the following:

For a repetitive pulse scenario, after computing the Pulse Energy on the left, enter the Cycle Time (T) of the pulse below.

If there is additional continuous power applied to the resistor along with the pulse, then enter that power below (Additional Power).

Then click compute.
