Self-discharge is the rate of voltage decline when the capacitor is not connected to any circuit. The rate of self-discharge is dependent on the state of charge it was held out before being disconnected from the circuit. A part that is quickly charged then left to sit will discharge faster than one that is held on charge for many hours.
Capacitors have applications ranging from filtering static from radio reception to energy storage in heart defibrillators.
