On each cycle, the capacitor charges to the peak voltage. Then, it discharges as the regulator draws current from it. The capacitor must be large enough that when the regulator draws current from it between the charge cycles, the voltage will not drop below the minimum voltage specified for that regulator.
The capacitor''s voltage rating should always be at least 1.5 times or twice the maximum voltage it may encounter in the circuit. Capacitors are not as reliable as resistors. …

Circuits with Resistance and Capacitance. An RC circuit is a circuit containing resistance and capacitance. As presented in Capacitance, the capacitor is an electrical component that stores electric charge, storing energy in an electric field.. Figure (PageIndex{1a}) shows a simple RC circuit that employs a dc (direct current) voltage source (ε), a resistor (R), a capacitor (C), …
The capacitance and the voltage rating can be used to find the so-called capacitor code.The voltage rating is defined as the maximum voltage that a capacitor can withstand. This coding system helps identify and select the appropriate capacitor for electronic circuitry. The capacitor code also allows you to find the capacitance of a capacitor. You can see some examples in …
We find the voltage of each capacitor using the formula voltage = charge (in coulombs) divided by capacity (in farads). So for this circuit we see capacitor 1 is 7.8V, capacitor 2 is 0.35V and capacitor 3 is 0.78V. These combine to the total voltage of the battery, which is …

Capacitor Characteristics – Nominal Capacitance, (C) The nominal value of the Capacitance, C of a capacitor is the most important of all capacitor characteristics. This value measured in pico-Farads (pF), nano-Farads (nF) or …
This means, if the actual circuit voltage is 10V, the minimum capacitor voltage I will select is 13.33V (10V/0.75). However, there is no such voltage. So, I will go to the next higher level that is 16V.
One very important rating of capacitors is "working voltage". This is the maximum voltage at which the capacitor operates without leaking excessively or arcing through. This working voltage is expressed in terms of DC but …
That means, for example, if the actual capacitor voltage is 50V, select a capacitor rated for at least 100 V. It is a common practice in electronic component selection to derate the ceramic capacitor voltage rating by 50% to prevent explosion as well as VCC. In any electronic circuit designed with ceramic capacitors, this trend should be followed.
High-K ceramic capacitors (X7R and the like) lose capacitance as the electric field increases. The electric field is the inverse of the distance between electrodes. Thus, a larger thicker cap (1206 vs 0603) will have thicker dielectric, a higher voltage rating, and capacitance will drop less with voltage. This also depends on value.
Artwork: A dielectric increases the capacitance of a capacitor by reducing the electric field between its plates, so reducing the potential (voltage) of each plate. That means you can store more charge on the plates at the same voltage. The electric field in this capacitor runs from the positive plate on the left to the negative plate on the right.
Capacitors with different physical characteristics (such as shape and size of their plates) store different amounts of charge for the same applied voltage (V) across their plates. The capacitance (C) of a capacitor is defined as the ratio of the maximum charge (Q) that can be stored in a capacitor to the applied voltage (V) across its ...
The OP''s original post has formulae reversed. The ripple for half-wave rectification is larger than that for full wave. Easy to think about: if you charge a cap with a half a wave of voltage and current, it will discharge less if you have another charging half wave right after the first, and more if you have to discharge the cap another half wave with no input.
The lighter the stress on a capacitor the less margin I will allow. For example, if a signal only very occasionally goes to 90V but is mostly below 50V then I might use a 100V ceramic capacitor. Temperature, voltage, current, and ESL/ESR effects all play into this. A capacitor with lots of stress will get much more of a margin.
A capacitor is to be connected into a 480-V, 60-Hz line. If the capacitor has a voltage rating of 600 VDC, will the voltage rating of the capacitor be exceeded?
All capacitors have a maximum working DC voltage rating, (WVDC) so it is advisable to select a capacitor with a voltage rating at least 50% more than the supply voltage. We have seen in this introduction to capacitors tutorial that …

Using a lower voltage rated capacitor will not damage the system, but it will accelerate the capacitor''s end of life. The voltage rating is the working voltage for the capacitor to reach 60,000 applied hours. If the heating or air conditioning unit increases voltage to the capacitor (for example: the capacitor is rated for 370 Vac, and is ...

This maximum voltage can be regard as working voltage (WV) as it is the maximum safe voltage to work with it and it is marked on the capacitor. Thus voltage rating of a capacitor is the maximum amount of voltage that can be applied across it to prevent it from being damaged permanently.
