Every capacitor has the value of its working voltage marked on it.
Beyond this value the dielectric would break down and the capacitor
would be useless.
Applications of capacitors
Capacitors are used extensively in electrical engineering. In the field of
installation work, they are mainly used for motor starting, power factor
correction and radio interference suppression and to minimize the
stroboscopic effects in fluorescent lighting circuits. Their use in power
factor correction and fluorescent lighting is dealt with in the next
chapter.
