How do you make a non-polarized electrolytic capacitor?
Take two electrolytic capacitors of the same voltage and capacity, connect the positive leads together and connect the negative leads to the circuit. Just keep in mind that this will reduce the cap. value by half (2, 1000uF caps = 500uF) Also the voltage of the circuit should not exceed the voltage of one of the caps.
What is a non polarized capacitor?
A polarized capacitor is one which has a polarity, positive on one terminal, negative on the other. This makes it superficially look like a battery. In use, the capacitor has its positive voltage always higher than that on the negative terminal, it matters that this is the case and this gives rise to the term polarized. This sort of capacitor is commonly found in power supply filters.
What is the capacitor and how many types?
A capacitor is a circuit component that stores energy in the electric field set up between its plates.Capacitors are named after the dielectric used to separate their plates (e.g. 'mica' capacitor), and there are lots of different types of dielectric used (too many to list), so there are a corresponding number of types of capacitor.But you can also categorise a capacitor as being 'polarised' or 'non-polarised'; electrolytic capacitors are 'polarised', which means that they must be connected into a circuit while taking into account the polarity of their terminals.Finally, you can categorise them as being 'fixed value' or 'variable'.
What does a capacitor do in an amplifier circuit?
not sure
In a capacitor circuit load angle is?
Negative.
Why is it important consider the correct polarity of an electrolytic capacitor when using it in the circuit?
The electrolytic capacitor can only have voltage across it in one direction. Failure to comply will result in catastrophic destruction of the capacitor.
Does it make a difference how you wire a capACITOR?
If the capacitor is and electrolytic then YES, you must keep the +ve to the side with no marking or a + and -ve to the side with a stripe or a - on it. If the capacitor has one leg shorter than the other the shorter leg is also the -ve side. Connecting an electrolytic the wrong way round can cause it to boil or even explode. If it is not electrolytic then it can go either way round, these are usually smaller.
What type of circuit would you find an electrolytic capacitor?
Many, but a near guaruntee would be any power supply. Electrolytic capacitors are the ones that look like batteries.
When might it be necessary to use a 2 µF polyester capacitor rather than a 2 µF electrolytic capacitor?
when high voltages are present because the voltage rating of polyester (polyethylene terephthalate) capacitor is high as well as electrolytic capacitor will destroy if the voltage increases from nominal voltage and cause short circuit conditions.

What is the basic difference between disc type capacitor and electrolytic capacitor?
A: it is the value disc type are small while electrolytic are big in value.The dielectric in a disc capacitor is ceramic, the dielectric in an electrolytic capacitor is a very thin corrosion layer on one of its metal foil plates.The conductive plates in a disc capacitor are two metal thinfilms on opposite sides of the ceramic, the conductive plates in an electrolytic capacitor are one of the metal foil plates and the electrolyte paste between the metal foil plates.A disc capacitor is ready to sell and use as soon as it has been built, an electrolytic capacitor will not work at all when it is first built (it is an electrical short circuit) it must be formed by passing a controlled current through it for several hours to cause corrosion of one of the metal foil plates.The parasitic inductance of a disc capacitor is less than that of any other type of capacitor, the parasitic inductance of an electrolytic capacitor is greater than that of any other type of capacitor. This makes disc capacitors better for use in circuits involving high frequencies and electrolytic capacitors better for use in circuits involving very low frequencies and/or DC.The parasitic resistance of a disc capacitor is extremely high resulting in extremely low leakage, the parasitic resistance of an electrolytic capacitor is low resulting in high leakage. In fact this leakage current in an electrolytic capacitor is essential to keeping it healthy and working in use, without it the corrosion layer dielectric slowly dissolves away into the electrolyte paste. Reversal of polarity of an electrolytic capacitor dramatically hastens this, rapidly removing the corrosion layer and shorting the capacitor resulting in both uncontrolled heating and electrolysis of the water in the electrolyte paste; the extremely rapid generation of gases causes a violent explosion of the electrolytic capacitor!The capacitance of a disc capacitor tends to be low in relation to its physical size compared to other types of capacitor, the capacitance of an electrolytic capacitor is higher in relation to its physical size than any other type of capacitor. This is due mostly to the differences in the thickness of the dielectrics.
Why do you use a dc capacitor in table fans while an ac capacitor in a ceiling fan?
there is no separate capacitors for AC and DC. All capacitors are same. Electrolytic capacitors are manufactured by creating a die-electric by chemical etching or electroplating on one plate. Such capacitors when connected in AC circuit dislodges the die-electric material and thus results in short circuit between the two parallel plates of the capacitor. For AC circuits only non-electrolytic capacitors should be used. The common type is oil impregnated paper capacitor.
Can you used other type of capacitor instead of electrolytic?
depends, there are nonelectrolytic capacitors but it might not work for your circuit. research what kind you need and then use the right ine :D xx

Is capacitor a part of integrated circuit?
A small capacitor can be part of an integrated circuit.
What is the symbol of capacitor?
The capacitor symbol looks like: --|(--
When a capacitor is connected to a circuit, what happens to the current flow through the capacitor?
When a capacitor is connected to a circuit, the current flow through the capacitor initially increases and then decreases as the capacitor charges up.
