Electrolytic capacitors look like little batteries. Any capacitor that looks like this will be electrolytic.
Another Answer
Electrolytic capacitors are polarised, so their terminals are marked with positive and negative symbols.
first lets explain what an electrolytic capacitor is to identify an electrolytic capacitor look for positive and negative indicators (non aren't polarized). the reason that its polarized is because the anode is normal but the cathode is a normal one with electrolyte soaked paper this allows more electrons to be stored thus more energy. a non can only hold what the metal can take. but if you reverse the flow it heats and the steam causes the canister to blow. basically a non electrolytic capacitor is a capacitor with no extra features, just a couple of aluminum plates separated by air.

Only electrolytic capacitors (tantalum capacitors are a type of electrolytic capacitor) are polarized.0.001 farad = 1000 microfaradThis is a value that is too large for any practical capacitor except an electrolytic, so yes it will be polarized.
The electrolytic capacitor can only have voltage across it in one direction. Failure to comply will result in catastrophic destruction of the capacitor.

actually the truth is the difference between the electrostatic capcitor and electrolytic capacitor is the spelling.. believe it... or not!

if exact replacement capacitors are not available,you should substitute it with a capacitor that has

Electrolytic capacitors are capacitors in which one or both of the plates is a non-metallic conductive surface, or in other words, an electrolyte. Electrolytic capacitors come in a variety of types including: aluminum electrolytic capacitor; tantalum; and a solid aluminum electrolytic capacitor with organic semiconductor electrolyte or OS-CON.
An electrolytic capacitor uses an electrolyte (ions in a solution) to store charges.
