27:35riskyfive This is easy to imagine. Voltage is like pressure. You have pressure when the bucket is full. To change from high pressure (full/1) to low pressure (empty/0) you have to discharge the bucket. The size of the bucket (capacitive load) is what gets wasted, in proportion to the pressure with which the water came out
