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.

How is the change of potential difference across the capacitor determined?
The change in potential difference across a capacitor is determined by the amount of charge stored on the capacitor and the capacitance of the capacitor. The relationship is given by V = Q/C, where V is the potential difference, Q is the charge stored on the capacitor, and C is the capacitance.
What type of capacitor use to stabilize a 12 volt car when the voltage drops and how to wire?
A common choice is an electrolytic capacitor with a high enough voltage and capacitance rating to stabilize the voltage. To wire it, connect the positive lead of the capacitor to the positive terminal of the car battery, and the negative lead to a good ground point on the vehicle's chassis. Be sure to add an appropriate fuse in line with the positive lead for safety.
Do you need two jumpers from your outdoor condensor compressor to the start capacitor if you only have one and does it need 220 or 120 if it is a 40mfd rated for 330v?
Do you have a dual capacitor that starts both the compressor and the fan motor? You need 230V to power the compressor. You should have one wire from the capacitor going from the start terminal on the compressor and one going from the common terminal to common on the capacitor.
What has happened when a light bulb has burn out?
it simply means that a wire from the light bulb is joined or connected to the charged plates of the capacitor.resulting to discharged of the capacitor.
Electrons are made to flow in a wire when there is?
... a potential difference between the ends of the wire.
How should I properly wire a dual run capacitor in my electrical system?
To properly wire a dual run capacitor in your electrical system, connect the common terminal to the compressor, the fan terminal to the fan motor, and the herm terminal to the start capacitor. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions and safety precautions when wiring the capacitor.
What is the potential difference formula for a capacitor?
The potential difference formula for a capacitor is V Q/C, where V is the potential difference (voltage), Q is the charge stored on the capacitor, and C is the capacitance of the capacitor.
How do you make a wind up flashlight?
You need a tube, a coil of wire, a magnet and a capacitor to store the charge.
What is the correct way to wire an electric motor capacitor since the capacitor is not marked?
Motors that use capacitors are single-phase AC motors. The capacitor is used to "start-and-run" the motor. The capacitor is wired between the incoming hot service wire and the "start-and-run" terminal of the motor. The other terminal of the motor is connected to the outgoing neutral service wire. These capacitors are designed to run on AC (two DC capacitors back-to-back) so It doesn't make a difference which way round the two terminals are wired. If the case is metal it is usually grounded to the ground wire. Some motor "start and run" capacitors are plastic-cased so don't need any ground wire.
How to calculate the potential difference across a capacitor?
To calculate the potential difference across a capacitor, you can use the formula V Q/C, where V is the potential difference, Q is the charge stored on the capacitor, and C is the capacitance of the capacitor.
What are the steps behind installing a car audio capacitor?
First, the capacitor must be charged. Use a voltmeter, and when it reaches 12 volts, the capacitor is charged. The capacitor should then be installed near the car audio amplifier. Keep the negative wire attached to the battery. Then, a ground wire from the negative post on the capacitor to the car's chassis on the chassis's bare metal ground point. Next, the power wire needs to be disconnected from the amplifier's power input. Connect the wire to the positive post on the capacitor. A new power wire needs to be connected from the capacitor's positive post to the amplifier's power input. Install a 16 gauge wire from the capacitor's remote turn-on post to the amplifier's remote input. Then disconnect the negative wire from the battery.
How can one determine the potential difference across a capacitor?
The potential difference across a capacitor can be determined by using the formula V Q/C, where V is the potential difference, Q is the charge stored on the capacitor, and C is the capacitance of the capacitor.
How do you wire a capacitor to an amp?
Positive post of capacitor is connected to the heavy amp cable. The ground terminal (or case) of the capacitor is connected to the car's ground or a ground wire that leads to the car's chassis. That's it.
What is the relationship between potential difference and capacitance in a capacitor?
The relationship between potential difference and capacitance in a capacitor is that the potential difference across a capacitor is directly proportional to its capacitance. This means that as the capacitance of a capacitor increases, the potential difference across it also increases, and vice versa.
How do you wire Tsunami 5 farad capacitor?
To wire a Tsunami 5 farad capacitor, first ensure that the vehicle's power is off. Connect the positive terminal of the capacitor to the positive terminal of the battery and the negative terminal to the vehicle's ground. Use appropriate gauge wire for the connections, and install a fuse in line with the positive lead to protect against short circuits. Finally, make sure to charge the capacitor before connecting it to the audio system to avoid damage.
Does it make a difference what the wire is made of?
yes it does
What is the potential difference across each capacitor when the plate separation is doubled?
When the plate separation of a capacitor is doubled, the potential difference across each capacitor remains the same.
