I want to ask, is the maximum current of a capacitor with a large capacitance greater than capacitors with the same voltage but smaller capacitance?leVanw...
Welcome to Control Automation!
If you are speaking of an RC circuit the current discharge rate is not proportional to capacitor size. However the circuit's time-constant, RxC, is used in an exponential decay calculation for current discharge!
Let us know If you need additional info!

So the capacitance of a capacitor affects the maximum current discharged from the capacitor, right?LeVanw...
To be clear I assumed by "Current" you meant that capacitors charged at Voltage "E" are discharged by providing a conducting-path between its terminals! That path can be a resistor, inductor, even shorting it! If so, then the answer to your question is "YES"!

You'll need to specify your complete circuit to answer your questionSo the capacitance of a capacitor affects the maximum current discharged from the capacitor, right?
