What will happen if you changes the polarity of the capacitor in their respective position?
It will either explode right away, or work for a short time then explode. Note though, that the capacitor's polarity only applies to DC voltage. Because AC flows through a capacitor, if there is no DC offset, it matters not which way the capacitor goes.
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 is ac ground?
If a circuit is grounded through a capacitor it is referred to as AC ground because ac signal can pass through the capacitor DC level is blocked
Can capacitor store charge from ac source?
Yes. A capacitor stores charge from any source, including AC.The difference between DC and AC, however, is that the capacitor will be constantly changing in charge, in step with the AC. Due to the nature of the capacitor, the current through the capacitor will lead the voltage by some amount, depending on capacitance and resistance. {In the ideal case of a perfect capacitor, conductors, and AC power source, the current will lead the voltage by 90 degrees phase angle.}This is called capacitive reactance.Another way for a capacitor to store charge from an AC source, of course, is to place a rectifier diode in front of the capacitor. This, then, becomes an AC to DC converter.
What is the polarity of fixed capacitor?
Most fixed capacitors, and almost all variable ones, have no polarity. That is, itmakes no difference to the capacitor which side you make positive and which sideyou make negative, and your choice has no impact on the performance or lifetimeof the capacitor.Electrolytic capacitors and some tantalum ones do have a preference, and thepolarity of their two leads is marked on the component. Their dielectric is formedby an internal electro-chemical process that depends on the polarity, such thatthe dielectric goes away if the polarity is reversed, and then you no longer havea capacitor.
Do ac capacitor have positive and negative polarity?
both

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.
Why capacitor burst?
Electrolytic capacitors tend to explode when connected to AC or to DC currents of the wrong polarity. The plates short out because the dielectric is maintained by a polarized field, and is then destroyed by the wrong polarity.
Is capacitor polarity sensitive?
Some capacitors are polarity sensitive; some are not. It depends on the design. Electrolytic capacitors, for instance, are polarity sensitive, while ceramic disc capacitors are not. You can generally tell, if the capacitor is marked with polarity signs, such as + and -, if it is or not.
Is there any necessary to mark polarity on capacitor?
For electrolytic capacitors, yes, as ignoring their polarity can damage them.
If we change the polarity of capacitor in ceiling fan why it starts rotating reverse direction?
by changing the polarity of capacitor of single phase ceiling fan can we change the direction of rotation from anticlockwise to clockwise
Why a capacitor does not accept AC?
A capacitor conducts AC but do not conduct DC because it is meant to store charge.
What causes fan to run in reverse?
(1)What happens when polarity of the fan is reversed? It depends upon your definitions of reversal of capacitor,in a series circuit reversing a capacitor in the actual sense means not a mechanical reversal by changing its metal leads,its just reversing the current direction in the capacitor. (2)Now next question is does fan capacitor have a polarity? Ofcourse it has,all capacitors have polarity,but fans capacitor is not electrolytic capacitor,so it doesnt have inbuilt polarity. (3)How we recognize the polarity of capacitor of a ceiling fan? Since it doesnt have inbulid polarity,the direction of the current entering the mesh determines positive polarity and current leaving is assumed as negative polarity.while doing mathematical analysis we can take any convention it will not affects the magnitude since we are taking modulus in calculations. (4)Final Assumption reveling the facts about fans reverse rotation If we connect the fan in such a way that currrent is leaving or reversing the direction of current,the capacitor polarity changes and fan will rotate in reverse(since it is a single phase induction motor{note: rotating magnetic field and working of fan}),need of the capacitor is it gives the initial torque and technically improves the power factor,capacitor charges and discharges with respect to the frequency of the ac and gives the stability to the system,its efficiency will be lower and speed reduces if we remove the capacitor theoratically,so finally you can say the fan rotates reverse if we change the polarity of the capacitor(indirect meaning of changing direction of current).if you want any simple mathematical analysis of the detailed explanation,mail me at "ellipsis047@gmail.com" or call me 07259434969 "Sreenath SM(India)".i can make you understand the basis of all analog and electrical circuits.
Why ac current attract?
As we touch an ac supply in which due to body resistance , we create a phase difference between the ac supply and us . As ac reverses polarity , so do we , but our polarity change is opposite to that of the polarity change of ac supply , hence our body gets attracted to the ac supply .
How does capacitor discharge while ac supply is on?
For part of the AC voltage wave, the capacitor will be above the source voltage, and will discharge until the AC voltage wave increases above the capacitor's stored voltage.
