I know they store energy and release it similar to a battery, but my question is about voltage.
I read that the voltage of a capacitor is determined by the voltage put into it, I dunno if that is true or not, just the first site that came up on google. Now my question is why do Caps have voltage numbers on them? Is that the 'max' voltage they can take? Like a 4V cap could take 2 1.5 V batteries seriesed but not 3 of the in a series?
And I am looking to add a cap to a circuit that runs off 9 V, I would have to get a cap that accepts atleast 9V or higher?
