Peak Charge?



Dear List,

Please settle a minor but bothersome question for me.  In an AC powered
Tesla tank circuit, what is the peak charge felt by the capacitor?  Some on
the list say it's 1.4 x VAC, others say it is 2.8 x VAC.  This sounds like
a "newbie" question, but after reading the mail for many months, it seems
that newcomers and old heads alike are not sure about this basic issue.
