Why capacitor burst?

Electrolytic capacitors tend to explode when connected to AC or to DC currents of the wrong polarity. The plates short out because the dielectric is maintained by a polarized field, and is then destroyed by the wrong polarity.

Why a capacitor burst if applies full voltage momentarly?

A capacitor is essentially two metal plates with a small opening separating them. If you apply more voltage than the capacitor is rated for, the small openning will not be wide enough to keep the electrons from "jumping across"; current will flow through the capacitor like it is just a piece of wire. This causes the capacitor to heat up significantly. It will eventually burst if enough voltage is left on it for a long enough period of time. If the voltage applied is within the specifications of the capacitor, it may be that it's a polarized capacitor and you're applying voltage backwards to it.
