charge a cap?

Yes, that is correct.
Most capacitors come with a resistor that you temporarily put inline between your power wire and the positive terminal of the cap. This will allow it to charge slowly.
You "can" do it without a resistor....when you touch the positive wire to the capacitor terminal you will get a small "spark".
Using the resistor is "right", not using it "works" just fine though.
