Storing Energy in a Capacitor
The maximum energy that can be (safely) stored in a capacitor is limited by the maximum electric field that the dielectric can withstand before it breaks down. Therefore, capacitors of the same type have about the same maximum energy
How do you test a 3 pin capacitor?

Energy Stored on a Capacitor
The energy stored on a capacitor can be expressed in terms of the work done by the battery. Voltage represents energy per unit charge, so the work to move a charge element dq from the negative plate to the positive plate is equal to V dq, where V is the voltage on the capacitor.The voltage V is proportional to the amount of charge which is already on the capacitor.

Energy Stored in a Capacitor | Brilliant Math & Science Wiki
A capacitor is a device for storing energy. When we connect a battery across the two plates of a capacitor, the current charges the capacitor, leading to an accumulation of charges on opposite plates of the capacitor. As charges accumulate, the potential difference gradually increases across the two plates. While discharging, this potential difference can drive a current in the

6 FAQs about [Capacitor judging potential]
What happens when a voltage is placed across a capacitor?
When a voltage is placed across the capacitor the potential cannot rise to the applied value instantaneously. As the charge on the terminals builds up to its final value it tends to repel the addition of further charge. (b) the resistance of the circuit through which it is being charged or is discharging.
How can a capacitor be calculated?
Capacitance and energy stored in a capacitor can be calculated or determined from a graph of charge against potential. Charge and discharge voltage and current graphs for capacitors. A closed loop through which current moves - from a power source, through a series of components, and back into the power source.
What happens when a capacitor is placed in position 2?
As soon as the switch is put in position 2 a 'large' current starts to flow and the potential difference across the capacitor drops. (Figure 4). As charge flows from one plate to the other through the resistor the charge is neutralised and so the current falls and the rate of decrease of potential difference also falls.
What happens when a capacitor is fully discharged?
(Figure 4). As charge flows from one plate to the other through the resistor the charge is neutralised and so the current falls and the rate of decrease of potential difference also falls. Eventually the charge on the plates is zero and the current and potential difference are also zero - the capacitor is fully discharged.
How does a capacitor work?
At some instant, we connect it across a battery, giving it a potential difference V = q / C between its plates. Initially, the charge on the plates is Q = 0. As the capacitor is being charged, the charge gradually builds up on its plates, and after some time, it reaches the value Q.
How does a capacitor affect the electric field?
Ever-increasing effort must be put in against this ever-increasing electric field as more charge is separated - work has to be done. The energy (measured in joules) stored in a capacitor is equal to the amount of work required to establish the voltage across the capacitor, and therefore the electric field.
