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.


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.

Why is tantalum used in a moblile phone?

I looked it up but they say "tantalum from Congo is used to make electrical capacitors that go into phones, computers and gaming devices" in my article I'm reading but I still don't understand but from what I'm thinking maybe it helps with the memory? but i will continue to read this article and i would get back to you on that. Thanks!
