Capacitor explosion
Capacitor explodes due to over voltage or change in polarities.
All capacitors have a voltage rating associated with the device. Ceramic capacitors, made from interlaced layers of conductors on a ceramic substrate tend to have a very high rating from 10V to over 1000V...
However, these capacitors do not tend to "explode" but rather, they will just smoke when the dielectric is shorted through and then opened with high current.

Exploding capacitors tend to be from the electrolytic family and they commonly do so when "charged" with a reverse polarity.

Electrolytics are made with an aluminum foil and a form of electrolyte commonly embedded in a paste or soaked into a paper layer.
The issue with electrolytic capacitors is that they have a polarity associated with their plates or leads and they also need to be conditioned over time to maintain the dielectric (aluminum oxide) layer that forms on the anode (Capacitors). If the polarity of the voltage between the plates is reversed, the Al2O3 layer will quickly break down, the electrolyte will conduct high amounts of current, and with the heat the electrolyte will eventually vaporize into a gas. The metal containers of electrolyte capacitors are manufactured to fail with a split in the can, hopefully venting the gas in a controlled manner.

Capacitor: can’t you read me, it’s negative it’s negative! *boom.

The nominal voltage limit on an electrolytic capacitor with respect to the source voltage

10V for 1-5V source voltage
16V for 6-10V source voltage
25V for 11-20V source voltage
35V for 21-30V source voltage
50V for 31-45V source voltage
63V for 46-58V source voltage
100V for 59-95V source voltage
160V for 96-154V source voltage
200V for 155-194V source voltage
250V for 195-235V source voltage
400V for 236-385V source voltage
450V for 245-425V source voltage
500V for 255-465V source voltage

The slow mo sucks it makes the video super boring to watch 🙄

Should have shown us what was left of the capacitors

I have a capacitor exploded when testing a pc power suply outside the board, and the capacitor exploded after i powed on after seconds. The capacitor 16 V 1000microF. Can you tel me what is the reason pelease?

Is the sound how loud dB when capacitors pop ? Can you measure with phone app or such device ?

WHAT WAS THE NAME OF THIS SIMULATION SOFTWARE?

welcome

you call this "slow motion?" taking regular 24 fps (or whatever it is) and slowing that down to like 2fps? weak as hell
