Definitions:

Dielectric Stress

The electric stress or field strength within an insulating material, which can lead to breakdown if it exceeds the material's dielectric strength.

Voltage Difference

The difference in electric potential between two points in an electric circuit, driving the flow of current.

Farad

The SI unit of capacitance, describing a capacitor's ability to store charge per unit of electric potential difference, named after Michael Faraday.

Nonpolarized Capacitors

Capacitors that can be connected to either polarity of voltage. Generally used in alternating current circuits.
