#Introduction
i=0.2                 #current in amp
C=0.01                #Capacitance in farad
t=20*10**-3           #time in sec

#Calculation
dv=i/C                #change in voltage w.r.t time
v=dv*t                #peak ripple voltage

#Result
print'Peak Ripple Voltage = %.1f V'%v

Peak Ripple Voltage = 0.4 V
