How do you identify that capacitor is as Electrolytic capacitor?
Electrolytic capacitors look like little batteries. Any capacitor that looks like this will be electrolytic.Another AnswerElectrolytic capacitors are polarised, so their terminals are marked with positive and negative symbols.
Can an 2 farad capacitor still be used if the terminals were crossed at connection?
I Rather not think that you can buy 2 farad capacitor and no the terminals must follow polarity guidelines.
Why connect a 100 Ohm resistor to the two terminals of a capacitor If the voltmeter doesn't turn to zero would be better to use a larger resistor?
We can guess that the resistor is used for discharging the capacitor's plates. Generally we short the two terminals on a capacitor to discharge it fully. A resistor will take more time to do this than shorting-out the terminals: the higher the resistance, the longer the time that will be taken to discharge a capacitor fully.
What does 200WV 470uF mean on a capacitor?
200WV is the working voltage of the capacitor. This is the value that should not be exceeded between the two terminals. 470uF is the capacitive rating of the capacitor. It means 470 micro Farads, or 0.47 Farads.
What separates terminals inside a capacitor?
Any dielectric material can be used to separate the two metal plates inside a capacitor. This includes polymer, paper, glass or even air (although air is seldom used now).

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.
How do you identify terminals in capacitor?
A: If its polarized it will have a bar running along side of the body, A grade capacitor will either have stamped a -+ on it terminal and occasionally a red and black paint dot red is positive. If there is none of these marking then it is not polarized and does not matter how it is connected

How can you use a 3 phase capacitor as a single phase capacitor?
Just use any two of the three terminals that are available, this will give you a single phase capacitor.
What will happen if two terminals of capacitor are shorted?
When the terminals of a capacitor are connected together, the capacitor will discharge, returning to a zero potential state. Capacitors resist voltage change, meaning that if the capacitor is in a circuit that has zero voltage potential, the capacitor will eventually achieve zero potential. If the capacitor is in a circuit that has a 5 volt potential, the capacitor will seek and attempt to maintain that 5 volt potential (provided that the capacitor is rated at 5 volts or more). In an AC circuit, the capacitor will tend to smooth out the sin wave of the current, resisting change in both directions. In a DC power supply circuit, a capacitor will tend to reduce the voltage "ripple", and if the circuit is designed properly, will provide a smooth DC voltage. Shorting the terminals of a capacitor is effectively what often happens in many circuits; it's not a problem.
How do you prevent shock by capacitors?
Discharge the capacitor, normally with a resistor accross the terminals (Calculated size)

Why it is usual practice to connect a capacitor between the power supply terminals of logic gates?

How do you change a bad capacitor in an air conditioner?
Locate the defective capacitor, short the terminals to ground to release any stored energy and prevent shock, remove the old capacitor then install the new capacitor wired as the old one was and secure it in the bracket that held the old one - done.
