short attack time on order of 10-30s, a capacitor''s capacitance drops towards zero.

I thought one could discharge all capacitors by turning the device on, and then plugin it off from the main wall socket (while it''s on) that way all capacitors should discharge themselves in the circuit (which can stress the circuit in some context but
The charge capacity will dictate how long the current is capable of flowing. In other words a small value (say less than a microfarad) would result in a very brief shock, whereas a large value (a few microfarads or more) could result in a higher energy discharge, causing a more severe shock,

Once you have identified the capacitor, you can disconnect the wires and unscrew the mounting bolts. Be careful not to touch the metal parts of the capacitor, as this could result in electrical shock. Once the capacitor is removed, you can install the new capacitor by screwing it into place and connecting the wires to the correct terminals.

$begingroup$ As a general rule of thumb, before sticking your hands in a circuit with potentially charged capacitors, especially power electronics like audio amplifiers and televisions. It is a good idea to short capacitors across a (largish) bleedoff resistor to discharge them. Sometimes there is a bleedoff path already designed for the larger capacitors but I never bet on it.
The position of the shock wave front under an impact load can reveal many material properties. A design of a shunt capacitive shock wave position sensor has been investigated in this work, utilizing a series of electric probes connected to the shunt capacitor array to measure the moment when the shock wave front reaches a specific point on the
