Electrolytic Capacitor


Electrolytic capacitors are polar capacitors. They are dielectric because their bodies are insulators.


They are two types of electrolytic capacitor: Radial and Axial.


If connected with exceeding voltage source or wrong polarity, the electrolytic may literally explode because it contains dangerous chemicals.


The higher the capacitance of the capacitor, the bigger the capacitor. 










The longer leg is Positive.
The shorter leg is Negative.
