Even after you disconnect the circuit there will be some charge that is left over in the capacitor (unless it is manually discharged). This charge that remains in the capacitor is known as residual charge.

This charge that remains in the capacitor is known as residual charge. Hope it helps…. How can we reduce the residual voltage? Adding resistance to the circuit is recommended to eliminate residual voltage of a magnitude great enough to cause the LED in the light module to illuminate.
The residual voltage is the voltage that remains in an output transistor while it is ON. For example, consider an NPN output with a power supply voltage of 24 V and a residual voltage of 2 V. While the output transistor is ON, there will be 2 V between the output line (the black wire) and the 0-V line (the blue wire).
The residual voltage Ures is the maximum voltage at the arrester terminals when a current pulse is being discharged (e.g. 10 kA, wave form 8/20 µs). The residual voltage must be correspondingly lower than the insulation coordination. Why is RVT used in capacitor bank?
Capacitors will lose their charge over time, and especially aluminium electrolyts do have some leakage. Even a low-leakage type, like this one will lose 1V in just 20s (1000 μ μ F/25V). Nevertheless, YMMV, and you will see capacitors which can hold their charge for several months. It's wise to discharge them.
