The short answer is AC.  The capacitor charges with 60 hz AC, then
discharges at the resonant frequency of your tank circuit - typically
100-300KHz.

When the power transformer charges the capacitor, it(the transformer)
charges using AC . When the capacitor is fully charged and then
discharges , is it discharging as DC? Thanks, Tim
