Best Answer

In ceramic capacitors if you observe it then one of its terminal is smaller than other one.Thus,the longest one is its anode and other one is its cathode.

In the production of anode rays why perforated cathode plate is used?

For the formation of the anode ray which is the opposit in direction of the cathod ray.


Cations are attracted to cathod or anode?

DNA is neither cathode or anode, but it is negatively charged, so the DNA molecules will rn from anode to cathode


How capacitor stores charges?

capacitor storage the charge by the two plattes anode cathod & now insulater bettewen them.


Are tantalum capacitors polarized?

Yes, tantalum capacitors are polarized capacitors.This means that when connecting them in a circuit, you must connect the anode to the higher positive voltage than the cathode.


What are polar capacitors?

All electrolytic capacitors (e-caps) are polarized capacitors whose anode electrode (+) are made of a special metal on which an insulating oxide layer originates by anodization (forming), which acts as the dielectric of the electrolytic capacitor.


What makes currents move?

when there is two potential , due to potential difference ,electron from -ve side(cathode) flow towards +ve side(anode)(this is nature that electrons from cathod attract by anode) , so the electron moves in the path - ---> +, so current flow opp to that flow + ---> -in


How do you identify the ANODE wire on your corner light?

Use a voltage meter.


How are cathod rays produced?

when the cathode filament emits the electron and because of the high vaccum inside the tube with a high voltage who is applied on anode (the destination) the electron will accelerate to the anode and the anode will emits the x-ray photon directly after strike of the mentioned electron. the power of x-ray or peneration is determined of the anode high voltage.


Will electrons flow from anode to cathod?

"from anode to cathode". Normally, no. Taking a radio valve (electron tube), since the anode is positive compared to the cathode, and since electrons flow from surplus (at the negative cathode) to deficiency (at the positive anode), they do *not* flow from anode to cathode in normal operation. It's possible to have electrons striking the anode and *knocking off* electrons from it, and then to have those electrons travelling back towards the cathode. This is secondary emission. It was a problem in four-element "tetrode" valves in the early days, but has now been eliminated in practical designs. Long story short: it's possible, but undesirable and not common.


Do capacitors have positive and negative?

Some capacitors have terminals as they are polarized but some have not as they are not polarized. you can easily identify a polarized capacitor as it has + or - terminal indication marked.


What is diode detector?

there are two types:- 1) simple diode detector 2) practical diode detector the diode is common device used in am demodulator. signal(am demodulator signal ) is applied anode and output is taken from cathod
