Why is it that a capacitors physical size dosn't reflect its ratings? I have in front of me a 50v 10uF and a 50v 1000uF electrolytic cap, and the 10uF is almosts twice as big as the 1000uF. I had to fix a broken wire on a start cap for an AC motor on a tool today, and that thing was rated at 125v and 300 some odd MFD (microfarads?) and was 1/3 the size of a soup can. Is it a quality differance?
