PowerStor Supercapacitors Slide 4

During capacitor discharge there will be an initial voltage drop due to the ESR followed by a voltage drop due to the reduction in energy stored in the capacitor, these are known as resistive and capacitive voltage drops. Calculating both of these allows you to see which parameter is having the biggest impact on the voltage drop which will help with selecting the best capacitor for the job.
