I want to know the answer to the following question:
After discharging and disconnecting a capacitor, what causes it to develop a voltage?
All the background I'm provided with is that "In some capacitors where dangerous voltages and energies exist, such as in flashtubes, television sets, and defibrillators, the dielectric absorption can recharge the capacitor to hazardous voltages after it has been shorted or discharged.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: no
