Its because he used a flathead ( - ) it releases electrons. Won't happen with a Phillips head ( +) because the protons will remain in the capacitor.

@@Midoabukamar add in enough details with misapprehended rational and logic and you can get engineers to fall for this type of stuff ( I have experience with it, and it generally gets a good laugh and earned me some respect if successfully trolling them 😅)

I tend to find, that a hex head screw driver, perplexes, the Protons, and they disperse into outer darkness, with ease....🤔

It's 35v so it's not gonna kill you but a bigger capacitor with a higher voltage can do some damage.

Exactly ... this is why you use a resistor to discharge caps

Yeah even a smaller capacitor hurts from the charge

I know all tricks but still see if i learn something

How do you figure out what size resistor to use to discharge a capacitor (wattage not ohms)?

Well you need to make sure your resistor is rated for the wattage so you can use P = IV or P = I^2 * R or p = v^2/r. If you know the voltage and resistance then use the last one

@@grantscott1686 Yes and no....the resistor size influences the rate at which the cap discharges. Pick one thats too small (and you mine as well use a screwdriver), pick one thats to large and it will take to long to discharge. The time is govered by the time constant formulae - look up time constant for an RC circuit

Shouldn't a power resistor be better on the capacitor's life in the long run?
