    I have a question that should be easy for those in this group.

    Is the voltage rating of an electrolytic capacitor the maximum it can handle or is it the voltage required to drive the capacitor? (If that is even a
correct thing to say) What I really want to know is if I can substitute a 35v,
47 microfarad capacitor for a 16v, 47 microfarad capacitor.

    Thanks in advance.
