What is a polarized semiconductor component?
A: A diode a capacitor even a transistor must be connected to the the power as a polarized components
Is it OK to use an unpolarised capacitor in a circuit where there was originally a polarised one?
Well... Maybe yes, maybe no. It depends on two things. First, the physical size of the non-polarized capacitor may well be larger than the original size of the polarized capacitor, so it might not fit. Second, you have to consider the RMS current rating of the capacitor. Often, a polarized capacitor, such as an electrolytic capacitor, is intended to be used in a power supply, and is rated for a certain RMS current. A non-polarized capacitor, however, might not be rated for the same or higher RMS current, so it would not be able to handle the load.
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.
What is the difference between a polarized capacitor and a non-polarized capacitor?
For analog application that need swinging signal from positive to negative that will not work for you. But for DC applications where signal is always positive (or negative) that will be ok to exchange the capacitors with no harm to your circuit. Hope that will help you, if you need to find good quality electronic components i advise you to check www tmartis com, you can find a lot of good stuff there.
Why does capacitor banks explode?
electrolytic capacitors will explode if installed backwards. it has to do with their being polarized and when reverse polarized their dielectric is destroyed and the resulting large current flow causes rapid generation of hydrogen gas, bursting the case.
Can a non polarized capacitor be connected to a direct current circuit?
Yes, you can connect a polarized capacitor to a direct current. Make sure you get your polarization is correct.A non polarized capacitor can be connected in a DC circuit as well. "Non Polarized" just means it does not matter which side of the capacitor is positive. If you attempt to connect a polarized capacitor in a DC circuit backwards, you will know when the capacitor explodes.
What are the Darwbacks of non-polar capacitor over polar capacitor?
A: Polarized capacitors can be smaller in size as compared to a non polarized in the same capacity
What is an unpolarized capacitor?
A capacitor that does not have a designated + and - side. Electrolytic capacitors are usually polarized. Ceramic capacitors are not.
What is capacitor polarized?
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.

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 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.

Regarding Capacitors- can any general capacitor work on a circuit diagram that shows a polarized capacitor or do you need a special capacitor for polarization?
A Polarized capacitor means that the capacitor is polarity sensitive. if you were to connect the capacitor incorrectly the capacitor would blow up. A capacitor that is marked as being polarity sensitive will have the negative lead labeled usually with a white strip. These capacitors can only be used in conjunction with a dc source. Always consult a professional when installing electrical equipment.

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.

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.
