depends, there are nonelectrolytic capacitors but it might not work for your circuit. research what kind you need and then use the right ine :D xx

What type of capacitor aluminum oxide as its dielectric?
electrolytic
Does 001 farad of capacitor have polarity?
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.
Why do you use a dc capacitor in table fans while an ac capacitor in a ceiling fan?
there is no separate capacitors for AC and DC. All capacitors are same. Electrolytic capacitors are manufactured by creating a die-electric by chemical etching or electroplating on one plate. Such capacitors when connected in AC circuit dislodges the die-electric material and thus results in short circuit between the two parallel plates of the capacitor. For AC circuits only non-electrolytic capacitors should be used. The common type is oil impregnated paper capacitor.
What is cylindrical capacitor?
A cylindrical capacitor is a type capacitor in which two conducting cylinders are used and the dielectric medium is placed in between them .The outer most cylinder is earthed .The capacitance of these capacitors are higher than other
Does the physical size of a capacitor make a difference if the values are correct?
The only criteria governing capacitor size is; will it fit into the space on the circuit board.Capacitors produce a reactance that is measured in ohms - depending on the alternating frequency of the current flowing through them - and that reactance will produce heat.So, if you are designing equipment that will use a capacitor - or are replacing a defective capacitor - you must take into account how much energy it will produce as heat, that will have to be conducted away, otherwise the capacitor will burn up! So you must never use a capacitor that is physically too small for the job!The answer given above needs is partially correct in that it should also say that, as long as it will fit into the space available, you can use a capacitor of the same microfarad value that is physically bigger than the one that you are replacing but you should never use one that is physically smaller.It is also important to use the correct type of capacitor: it may not be safe to replace a non-electrolytic type by an electrolytic one, for instance.Not all capacitors are used in printed circuit boards. A capacitor used for motor starting also has to be matched exactly when replacing, as it also is engineer designed to the characteristics of the motor.
What type of capacitor is used in fan?
electrolytic
What type of capacitor aluminum oxide as its dielectric?
electrolytic
What type of capacitor should be charged slowly after not being used for a period to prevent damage if a sudden surge?
if exact replacement capacitors are not available,you should substitute it with a capacitor that has

What is the basic difference between disc type capacitor and electrolytic capacitor?
A: it is the value disc type are small while electrolytic are big in value.The dielectric in a disc capacitor is ceramic, the dielectric in an electrolytic capacitor is a very thin corrosion layer on one of its metal foil plates.The conductive plates in a disc capacitor are two metal thinfilms on opposite sides of the ceramic, the conductive plates in an electrolytic capacitor are one of the metal foil plates and the electrolyte paste between the metal foil plates.A disc capacitor is ready to sell and use as soon as it has been built, an electrolytic capacitor will not work at all when it is first built (it is an electrical short circuit) it must be formed by passing a controlled current through it for several hours to cause corrosion of one of the metal foil plates.The parasitic inductance of a disc capacitor is less than that of any other type of capacitor, the parasitic inductance of an electrolytic capacitor is greater than that of any other type of capacitor. This makes disc capacitors better for use in circuits involving high frequencies and electrolytic capacitors better for use in circuits involving very low frequencies and/or DC.The parasitic resistance of a disc capacitor is extremely high resulting in extremely low leakage, the parasitic resistance of an electrolytic capacitor is low resulting in high leakage. In fact this leakage current in an electrolytic capacitor is essential to keeping it healthy and working in use, without it the corrosion layer dielectric slowly dissolves away into the electrolyte paste. Reversal of polarity of an electrolytic capacitor dramatically hastens this, rapidly removing the corrosion layer and shorting the capacitor resulting in both uncontrolled heating and electrolysis of the water in the electrolyte paste; the extremely rapid generation of gases causes a violent explosion of the electrolytic capacitor!The capacitance of a disc capacitor tends to be low in relation to its physical size compared to other types of capacitor, the capacitance of an electrolytic capacitor is higher in relation to its physical size than any other type of capacitor. This is due mostly to the differences in the thickness of the dielectrics.
What type of capacitor uses aluminum as its dielectric?
Electrolytic capacitors use aluminium as a dielectric.
What type of electrolytic capacitor will be permanently damaged if connected to the incorrect polarity?
A polarized capacitor will be permanently damaged if connected to the incorrect polarity.
What type of capacitor has great stability and is up to three times smaller than a standard electrolytic capacitor?
tantalum,mica,paper,cermic
What type of circuit would you find an electrolytic capacitor?
Many, but a near guaruntee would be any power supply. Electrolytic capacitors are the ones that look like batteries.
What type of capacitor is normally polarized?
There are many different cpacitor technologies, or 'types'. To name a few, there are Electrolytic, Ceramic, Polypropylene Film, and Metalled Paper capacitors. The only type of capacitor commonly polarized are Electrolytic Capacitors. This means DC supply only. Dealing with AC? I'd recommend ceramic.
What type of capacitor is often used in power-supply circuits to filter the rectified AC?
The electrolytic capacitor is most often used in power supply circuits to filter the rectified AC.
Which type of bypass capacitor works best at high frequencies A electrolytic B mica C ceramic D plexiglass?
Plexiglass
