Capacitor reforming is the procedure of periodically charging the capacitors so they do not fail prematurely. ... Since the oxide layer is formed by applying rated voltage to the anode, when the capacitors sit in storage without externally applied voltage for some time, the dielectric oxide layer starts to deteriorate. Without voltage, this ...

Now, if I want to charge the capacitor, this means pumping charges on one of the plates which, by induction, produces an equal but opposite charge on the opposite plate. Electrical potential energy is supposedly stored because it takes work to move charge against the electric field (and in fact equal to the work if we set 0 potential …
