Hello everyone.
In some videos where I saw guys tearing down things like microwave ovens, they say that the big caps inside can kill and therefore should be shorted carefully before you touch anything around them.
So for example, If I have a capacitor rated at 3300uF 16V and I charge it with 5V@1A until it is fully charged, could the short actually kill or cause any harm? I'd like to understand more about capacitors through this question.
Thanks in advance,
