A capacitor alone can not raise the voltage level.
Capacitors together with a multivibrator (Or an AC source) and some diodes can do the trick. Works well on higher voltages.
Capacitors together with a multivibrator and an inductor would be the preferred method for low voltages. It works well even on voltages as low as 0.8 Volt.
Capacitors and diodes are by far the easiest available components.
Have a look at the related link down below for more information on how to raise the voltage.

∙ 12y agoTo some degree, a capacitor can be used to "prop up" the voltage. For loads (as opposed to the transmission system), all the capacitor will do is negate some of the voltage drop caused by the reactive current flow to the load. If the load is all resistive, it will have zero effect.

Why is voltage rating of a capacitor important to the user?
The voltage rating of a capacitor tells the user how much voltage the capacitor can withstand. If a user exceeds this voltage, the capacitor's dielectric may be damaged and destroyed.
Will voltage drop across a capacitor?
basically a capacitor will charge to the input DC level however it will mathematically never happen since capacitors charge at a certain rate the voltage drop across a capacitor will follow the R C time constant or 63% of the applied voltage for a unit time.AnswerIn the case of an a.c. supply, yes, there will be a voltage drop across a capacitor. In the case of an 'ideal' capacitor, this will be the product of the load current and the capacitive reactance of the capacitor.
How many current drawn in 400 kvar capacitor bank?
It depends upon at how much voltage level 400 kvar capacitor bank is used.
What is a capacitor analyzer designed to read?
Capacitor voltage
Can a capacitor charge to its maximum by applying any voltage to it?
A capacitor can charge to its' maximum OR the voltage applied to it, whichever is LESS.
What is the voltage obtained when a capacitor is placed in a dc circuit?
Eventually, the capacitor will charge to approximately the source voltage level. As this occurs, the current in the circuit will drop to near zero.
Will a capacitor lower voltage?
A: As soon as a DC voltage is applied the capacitor is a short or no voltage

It depends upon at how much voltage level 400 kvar capacitor bank is used.
Can capacitor increase low voltage to high voltage?
yes a capacitor can improve voltage by improving power factor
How does capacitor discharge while ac supply is on?
For part of the AC voltage wave, the capacitor will be above the source voltage, and will discharge until the AC voltage wave increases above the capacitor's stored voltage.
Whats the highest voltage increase i can make when replacing a Capacitor?
you cannot increase the voltage by replacing a capacitor. A capacitor is a passive components it has no gain.
What is the purpose of capacitor in power supply higher than rated voltage?
The voltage marked on a capacitor is its MAXIMUM SAFE WORKING VOLTAGE. The capacitor will work in a circuit at any voltage lower than that, but it may fail at any higher voltage.
Can you use a high voltage capacitor on a low voltage battery?
Yes. You just don't want to exceed the voltage rating of the capacitor.
What does the volt on a capacitor mean?
the voltage number on the capacitor indicates that the capacitor can with stand to that particular voltage across it.generally during design, the value of capacitor will be selected in such a way that this voltage rating should be double than what really we get in the circuit
