Apr 25, 2020 at 15:22 comment added rpm2718 @Newbie My advice is not to try to compute the capacitor voltage with the pulse you have, but first do the worst-case scenario, which is V1 steps instantaneously to 100 Volts. Then you can use the formula you used, except with E=100 Volts to find out how much voltage you are adding to the cap as a function of time ,beyond the Uo=14V. If you do this, you find that in the first 50 us, the cap stays below 35 Volts the whole time from 0 to 50 us. So then you are done! Your cap is safe, and you don't need more precision. You can stop at 50 us because your actual V1 pulse has come below 35V.
Apr 25, 2020 at 15:08 comment added user220456 Thank you for the answer. I understand that the pulse application is not instantaneous. It gradually rises. But how would I compute without this formula? Could you help me with how would your computation method for this? And please also help on how to calculate the maximum power of a single pulse. I understand to get the power, we need to integrate the area under the curve. But how to do that calculation.
