James, Andy,

Thanks. I'm still a bit confused though as the "CV" was related
to leakage =
current i.e. leakage current: 0.01CV or 4=B5A (whichever is greater).

Any thoughts ?

Ooops... I was way out :$

Yes it was Q =3D CV.

Funny how you spend months doing things like AC theory and never actually
seem to use them once you've done the exam.
