Best Answer

Capacitive discharge is when a capacitor (condenser) used to store a larger amount of energy than the supply would be capable of providing and then releasing it quickly into the required circuit. A typical example is a camera flash gun where a small amount of high voltage is generated and built up on a capacitor (this why you have to wait sometimes for the flash to recharge). It then can be released by a trigger device as one pulse to the flash tube. Other common applications are car ignition systems and spot welders.
