Kindly, provide me the schematic (circuit) for discharging almost any type & almost any value Capacitor ?
thanks
thanks

So this is :
take any red led, Vled voltage is about 1.2V, for a 5mm led assume 20mA current :
R = ( 50 - 2 ) / 0.02 = 2400 Ohm or 2.4 kOhm
Hope that helps
Edited : Vled changed from 1.2V to 2.0V. The capacitor energy is huge so the discharge will be slow, however you can combine this circuit by adding in parallel a resistor with lower value. Than the led will just give you indication when the discharge is ready
Keep in mind the power dissipation of your discharge circuit, you don't want some parts to get burned.
a simple resistor could do the job, why do you need a special circuit?
