The difference is that bipolar capacitors are two polarized electrolytes coupled head to toe.Normal capacitors are film based and show better electrical properties.

What are types of capacitor?

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.

How do you tell what end is positive on capacitor?

there are a number of different types of capacitors, each with its own identification. on common electrolytic capacitors the negative terminal is shorter and the side with the negative terminal is marked with a white line. note that ceremic capacitors are bipolar. ie. it doesnt matter which way they are connected. thse are shpaed like a bean and are commonly brown or green. if in doubt look up the data sheet for the component. just type in the identification on the capacitor into a search engine.


What is the difference between polar capacitors and bipolar capacitors?

Polar capacitors are acidic wet dielectric type capacitors which work only when there is a DC voltage present between its two leads in right polarity. Polar capacitors are ideally suited for a DC power supply ripple filter. When connected in wrong polarity, chemical reactions within a polar capacitor can cause them to blow up, often violently, causing injury to someone nearby. Most polar capacitors these days come with a safety valve to release internal pressure build up. Non polar capacitors are usually dry types made of ceramic, mylar, polyester or any possible dry insulator as a dielectric. Two polar capacitors connected back to back also make a non-polar capacitor. They work well in all situations whether there is any DC voltage present between their leads or not. Non polar capacitors are often very large and impractical in most applications except where a small capacitance value is required. Some good applications for non-polar capacitors are: an AC motor starter, an AC line spike filter and a crossover network. Since voltages across an AC motor or inside a speaker system consist only of pure AC, polar capacitors cannot be used in those cases. Polarized capacitors are typically large devices known as electrolytic or tantalum type packages, used for filtering or stabilizing voltage sources, usually in DC type circuits. Construction of these is if I recall correctly, an aluminum foil called the anode (positive lead), separated by an oxide film with a dielectric material known as the cathode (negative lead), hence polarity. Non-polarized are similar to polarized except the plates are similar metal. Polarized caps are typically used in large voltage situations, such as DC line filtering to reduce noise related to uneven voltage levels after rectification from an AC source. Mainly measured in microfarads. Polarity is critical to these devices. They are marked with the voltage rating (usually double the circuit voltage used) as well as the farad marking. non-polarized caps are typically used in low voltage situations, both AC and DC. Polarity is not critical. Measured in pico farads typically.


What is the difference between bipolar and unipolar leads?

I believe that a unipolar lead is one with a single lead while a bipolar lead is one with multiple or 2 or more leads.


What is the difference between OCD and mild depression and bipolar disorder?

Bipolar disease refers to someone who has sudden and severe mood swings. They have no control over these emotions and are sometimes very irrational during these times. OCD, aka Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, refers to someone who is obsessive about something. These people need to do repetitive things throughout their day. See "Difference between ADD and OCD"


What is the difference between being bipolar and being a sensitive person?

being sensitive means you are more emotional than most people and bipolar is when you pretty much have really bad random mood swings.

What is the major difference between bipolar and acute stress disorder?

Bipolar disorder is a chemical imbalance in the brain. The symptoms of bipolar disorder are characterized by changes of mood ranging from severe depression to a manic uncontrollable high. Acute stress disorder is the result of a psychological shock that stems from severe trauma.


What is the difference between dipolar and bipolar home theater speakers?

Dipolar speakers create an open space of sound in the center of the listening area, and Bipolar speakers produce a greater sound output and response at the cost of sonic immersion.
