Yes, voltage matters when charging a capacitor.
Capacitor charge rate is proportional to current and inversely proportional to capacitance.
dv/dt = i/c
So, voltage matters in terms of charge rate, if you are simply using a resistor to limit the current flow, because a larger voltage will attempt to charge faster, and sometimes there is a limit on the current through a capacitor.
There is also a limit on voltage across a capacitor, so a larger voltage could potentially damage the capacitor.

What causes the ripple voltage on the output of a capacitor-input filter?
Ripple voltage in a capacitor-input filter primarily arises from the charging and discharging cycles of the capacitor. When the rectifier conducts, the capacitor charges to the peak voltage of the input signal. As the load draws current, the capacitor discharges, causing the voltage to drop until the rectifier conducts again, resulting in a voltage ripple. The magnitude of this ripple depends on factors such as the load current, capacitance value, and input frequency.
Explain the Potential across the resistor during the charging and discharging process of the capacitor?
The voltage across a capacitors given as a time constant t= 63% the resistor value multiply buy capacitor value. it doesn't matter if it goes more or less negative it will follow this function
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.
What is the general equation for the voltage across a capacitor after a time of two time constants when charging from zero voltage?
The equation of a capacitor is ...dv/dt = i/c... meaning that the rate of change of voltage with respect to time is proportional to current and inversely proportional to capacitance.If you build a circuit with a resistor r in series with a capacitor c charging to an ultimate voltage V from an initial voltage v=0 at t=0, then you can solve the differential equation (solution steps not included) and produce a generalized equation ...vt = V (1 - e(-t/rc) )... In the case of two time constants, you reach a value of 86% of charge voltage.
What is a capacitor analyzer designed to read?
Capacitor voltage
How is make capacitor?
Capacitor is nothing but a storage device. It has a dielectric media in between the two electrodes. the nature of the capacitor is charging and discharging the voltage.
WHAT WOULD happen if you keep charging time shorter than time constant?
If you keep the charging time shorter than the time constant, the capacitor will not fully charge to its maximum voltage. The voltage across the capacitor will reach approximately 63% of the final value after one time constant. Therefore, if you stop charging before the capacitor fully charges, the voltage across the capacitor will be lower than expected.
How charging and discharging of capacitors happened?
in the capacitor they have constant voltage wen supply is given the capacitor get charged(high voltage)and discharge energy wen the voltage is low below the applied voltag.
What happens to the current in a circuit as a capacitor charges?
What happens to the current in a circuit as a capacitor charges depends on the circuit. As a capacitor charges, the voltage drop across it increases. In a typical circuit with a constant voltage source and a resistor charging the capacitor, then the current in the circuit will decrease logarithmically over time as the capacitor charges, with the end result that the current is zero, and the voltage across the capacitor is the same as the voltage source.
Why in the experiment of flashing and quenching of capacitor the neon bulb start twinkling?
In the experiment of flashing and quenching of a capacitor, the neon bulb twinkles because the charging and discharging of the capacitor cause the voltage across the capacitor to fluctuate rapidly. These fluctuations can cause the neon bulb to turn on and off, leading to the twinkling effect.
The electric device which blocks DC but allows AC is called?
A capacitor is a device which blocks DC, but allows AC. When a capacitor is completely charged it does not allow current to pass through it. Initially when capacitor starts charging it has maximum current which flows and voltage is minimum, during charging current decreases with time and voltage increases. When capacitor is completely charged, it has maximum voltage and minimum current. However the AC has both positive and negative half cycles, during positive half cycle capacitor starts charging but during negative half cycle it discharges, and hence it doesn't get fully charged at AC, and current always flows through it.
What is voltage regulater and its working?
Voltage regulator is a device which regulates the voltage or maintains a stable voltage irrespective of the fluctuations caused in the main line voltage. It contains a diodes and a capacitor. The capacitor discharges whenever there is a downfall of voltage in the main line and it keeps on charging the remaining time. the diode avoids the excess voltage to enter the circuit thereby maintaining a constant voltage.
Explain the Potential across the resistor during the charging and discharging process of the capacitor?
The voltage across a capacitors given as a time constant t= 63% the resistor value multiply buy capacitor value. it doesn't matter if it goes more or less negative it will follow this function
Why is the charging time of a capacitor lower than the discharging time?
The charging time of a capacitor is usually lower than the discharging time because during charging, the voltage across the capacitor is increasing from zero to its maximum value, which initially allows a higher current to flow. During discharging, the voltage across the capacitor is decreasing from its maximum value to zero, resulting in a lower current flow. This difference in current flow affects the time it takes for the capacitor to charge and discharge.
What happens if the resistor in RC circuit is removed and the capacitor is directly connected to power supply?
If by power supply you mean a voltage source, it really won't matter that the resistor is removed. The voltage source will provide infinite current, instantly charging the capacitor so that the capacitor's voltage is equal to the source.Alternative AnswerIf you are referring to an a.c. circuit, then a load current will continue to flow with its value being determined by the capacitive reactance of the circuit, and the resulting phase angle will lead the supply voltage be very close to 90 degrees.
Will a capacitor lower voltage?
A: As soon as a DC voltage is applied the capacitor is a short or no voltage
How a capacitor steps down ac?
A capacitor doesn't step down AC voltage, that's what a transformer does! It really can't, no matter what the circumstances.
