So, dump 20 volts or 20k volts and it still charges to, let's say 5ma?

Or, does the cap work as a storing resistor? The higher the e the higher the I because of r of the cap?

no, caps are a much more in depth device. read the wikipedia on it if you want more info

The two D cell powered one carries quite a wallop. When we packed the suburban for canada last spring, I put the bug zapper in the back. Unknown to me, the button was pushed in.

I grabbed it by the mesh to take it out and got zapped pretty good.

My hand hurt all the way up to my shoulder
