Now to calculate the current, simply apply ohms law I=V/R where I stands for current, V stands for

voltage and R stands for Resistance. Now simply substitute V with the A mains Voltage and R with the calculated apacitive Reactance !c and that"s it. #ou will get the current in terms of $illi Ampere"s. %ell you can calculate the estimated output current of the circuit by the formula !c=&/' ............where !c means ( apacitive Reactiance( whose )I unit is *hms, ' is +,- .- is the fre/uency of the A mains, value of , is ++/0 appro1imately considered as 2.&34 and is the value of the capacitor in $icro -arads. Now once you calculate the value of !c, divide the value by &555. 6his will give you the apacitive reactance in 7ilo *hms.

%ell the capacitive reactance is responsible to minimi8e magnitude of the A mains. 6hen the reduced A mains is rectified by the bridge

and the 9 output from the bridge is filtered by the electrolytic filter capacitor. Voltage division principle is not applicable in this circuit.
