    When the what?

  • 1 decade ago

    When the ? switch is closed ? It would have to be an A/C voltage

    for a steady current. A D/C voltage the current would

    start off being high an then go to zero when the capacitor is fully

    charged.With an a/c voltage the capacitive reactants will obey

    Ohms Law. V = I / Z Impedance because of a small ohmic value

    due to the capacitors construction

    Z = 1 / 2 pie f C C in farads say 50 Hz

    Z = 1/ 2x22/7 x 50 x 0.92 /10to-6

    Z = 259 ohms approx

    E = I x R = 0.055 x 259

    E = 14.25 volts at 50 Hz
