There is a sudden flash as energy jumps the gap between the plates.

The energy a capacitor can store expressed in joules is equal to its
capacitance in microfarads times the voltage (squared) across its plates
divided by two million.

For a fixed capacitor, the only vatiable is the voltage. So, the greater
the voltage across the capacitor the greater the energy it stores. The
only limit is the breakdown voltage.

So one acknowledges the presence of a capacitor at the end of a
radiator
So now we determine the capacitance and the voltage withstand
together
with what comprises as a capacitor at the end of a radiator to relate
to
which way the current flows.
The question with respect to current flow is still present and
unanswered
despite all of the manouvaring the face the question head on.
If the past means anything this subject could go to a 1000 posts with
neither
a modicom of science to bolster the talk
