Capacitors do not generate voltage by themselves. The voltage you read across the cap will simply be whatever voltage the external circuit puts into it. The answer depends, then, on the particular circuit, so there is no real answer to your question. It's like asking how much water is in a properly functioning bucket. The answer (which doesn't really help), is 'however much you put into it'...

What is the difference between a 47uf 50 v capacitor and a 47uf 25v capacitor for a tattoo machine?
A: It may tattoo your face when it blow up if the 25 volts is used where a 50 volts should be, you may substitute 47 mfd 500 volts for the 50volts cap and the 25 volts cap But you cannot substitute 15 volts for the 25 volts capacitor
What is the meaning of 100 WVDC written on a capacitor Also tell the consequences of exceeding this rating?
100 WVDC means 100 working volts DC. That is the maximum operating voltage that the capacitor is certified to have across it. Exceeding that rating could puncture a hole in the dielectric, leading to catastrophic failure of the capacitor.
In replacing the capacitor on a mig welder can i change a 53000 microfarad 30 volts capacitor with a 56000 microfarad 40 volts capacitor?
Yes you can do it. more voltage is good, a little more capacitance is good. Be sure to use a good quality capacitor. Note: on the old capacitor, it might be stated the temperature ratings such as 85 deg. C, 105 deg C, etc. Observe this as well. Higher is better.
Is 300 volts dangerous?
If the person working on a circuit is unqualified, any voltage is dangerous! If you have not been properly trained, stay away!
What does 200WV 470uF mean on a capacitor?
Ah, what a lovely question. Well, the 200WV on a capacitor means it can handle up to 200 volts, while the 470uF tells us its capacitance, which is 470 microfarads. Isn't it wonderful how these little components have their own language to tell us how they can help in our creative endeavors? Just like a happy little tree in a capacitor forest.
