Is it possible to discharge a capacitor remotely?

Question

Electronics

Is it possible to remotely discharge a capacitor or a battery with something, for example, electric waves, or magnetic waves, as in films, when some kind of super-secret bomb explodes and entire areas are cut down. Maybe not so futuristic, but experiential

Answer 1

You can send a magnetron to the capacitor. After a while, it will overheat and explode.

Answer 2

do not believe films in technical aspects, read at least science-pop literature.
films are made by lyricists who put a big device on physics in the name of beauty, show-offs and special effects ...

Answer 3

Can. For example, you can fill it with a conductive liquid, then the capacitor will turn into a resistor.

Answer 4

Can! It is necessary to make the medium between the electrodes (it is not clear what kind of capacitor you have there) to make it conductive. Depending on the medium and the design of the capacitor, this can be done in several ways. Just do not understand what this has to do with cutting "whole areas"? There you should rather ask questions about transformers. And it's even easier!
