Using it at a voltage higher than the one specified is one way to make a capacitor fail.

A: elevated temperature and cycling on-off power will cause capacitors to fail by beginning to leak.

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.

Does a 2 farad capacitor cause surging and lights to flicker?

The capacitor will not cause dimming, whatever it is that the capacitor is being used for (usually helping drive a bass amp) is what causes the dimming. A capacitor is a quick charge and quick discharge battery basically, so when the amp has depleted the power in the cap it still must go to the car battery for power and that is when there will be dimming lights.

When might it be necessary to use a 2 ยตF polyester capacitor rather than a 2 ยตF electrolytic capacitor?

when high voltages are present because the voltage rating of polyester (polyethylene terephthalate) capacitor is high as well as electrolytic capacitor will destroy if the voltage increases from nominal voltage and cause short circuit conditions.
