Normal Case:
Normally one will not find a polarity associated with a capacitor. Indeed, the quality of the manufacture would be put into question is the capacitor functions differently with different sign for the applied voltage.
Abnormal Case:
While common resistors are expected to function independent of polarity, it is possible to create resistors which are nonlinear and nonsymmetric in response to applied voltage. Just as diodes are nonsymmetric, one can imagine a diode-like material incorporated into the material of the capacity. There is no clear application for a nonsymmetric capacitor.
The only reason to label a capacitor as preferring one side positive over the other might be the effect of the rate of discharge is one of the charged surfaces is exposed to an environment which preferentially picks up or loses charge and there by affects performance.

Whether film capacitors can be replaced with ceramic or mica capacitor?
Film capacitors cannot be replaced with ceramic or mica capacitors if used for analog signal processing. However, mica capacitors can be replaced with ceramic capacitors in general.
Difference between ceramic and electrolytic capacitors?
In ceramic capacitors the dielectric is a thin layer of ceramic and both plates are metal foil. These capacitors are unpolarized. These capacitors have negligible internal inductance or resistance.In electrolytic capacitors the dielectric is an ultra thin layer of corrosion on the surface of a metal foil plate and the other plate is an electrolyte paste. These capacitors are polarized and if connected backwards are likely to explode. These capacitors have significant internal inductance, making them bad filters of noise in the MHz range and above which requires ceramic capacitors.
What is use of decoupling capacitor?
to protect a circuit from damaging
What is the functions of ceramic capacitor?
Ceramic capacitors can be used anywhere a capacitor having very low internal parasitic inductance is required. Most commonly they are used as powersupply bypass capacitors. They are also sometimes used for coupling capacitors for HF signal amplifiers.
Modern capacitors which have high capacitance in small size use a dielectric?
Ceramic

Does capacitance increase when the temperature increases?
It depends on what the capacitance is. 1. Capacitors may show a positive temperature coefficient, 2. "N750" ceramic capacitors have a negative coefficient of -750 parts per million per degree (ppm/º), 3. "NPO" ceramic types have a substantially zero ppm/º. Check the Wikipedia entry for "ceramic capacitor" for more info.
What is the difference between monolithic ceramic and mutilayer ceramic capacitors?
Ceramic Multilayer vs Monolithic CapacitorBoth multilayer and monolithic capacitors have multiple layers. The main difference between the two is the manufacturing process. Monolithic capacitors have a paste of ceramic material applied between the conductive layers. After this paste is applied the capacitors are then baked. Multilayer capacitors have the ceramic material sprayed onto the conductive layers. This generally means that monolithic capacitors can't go as high in capacitance because the amount of layers is limited due to their manufacturing process.
How do you determine which wire on a led or capacitor is the negative end?
on an LED, the negative end is the shorter side. on a capacitor, the negative end usually has some kind of marking on it, whether its a line, or an arrow or something. with ceramic disk capacitors, there is no negative end, you just attach each side to a positive end, usually for a solar panel or something to store energy.
What is an unpolarized capacitor?
A capacitor that does not have a designated + and - side. Electrolytic capacitors are usually polarized. Ceramic capacitors are not.
Are polyester capacitors better than ceramic disk capacitors?
Polyster ones won't wrinkle.

What is the construction process for ceramic capacitors?
Standard ceramic disc capacitors are constructed from two metallic electrodes separated by a very thin ceramic disc (serving as the dielectric) inside of a protective coating such as epoxy or other resin. The ceramic disc is produced from finely ground powders sintered at extremely high temperatures.
