It is very important not to exceed the maximum rated voltage of a capacitor in order to prevent damage or even complete destruction. The dielectric strength for air is approximately 3 megavolts per meter. In comparison, the dielectric strength for mica is approximately 120 MV/m.
Various techniques and dielectric materials enhance capacitor voltage handling capabilities: Thick dielectrics withstand higher voltages, but reduce capacitance density. High purity, low defect solid dielectrics like diamond have excellent strength. Polymer impregnation fills voids within film or ceramic dielectrics.

International standards speak of the Dielectric Constant or permittivity, designated by the symbol ε. A capacitor serves as a reservoir for electric charges. The size of the ”reservoir” is called capacitance and is expressed in the quantity F (arad) or As/V.
The rate C/V will be at maximum for d min, i.e., for V Rmin. In electrolytic capacitors the rated voltage plays a greater role because it can be adopted also to very low working voltages. Here the capacitors are grouped according to their charge quantity, that is to C R *V R.
