On some capacitors, it matters; on others it doesn't.
On those where it matters, it's marked.
(On some really old ones, the negative is marked "outer foil".)

Is a positive plus a negative make a positive or a negative?
Positive + Negative = Negative Negative + Negative = Positive Positive + Positive = Positive Negative + Positive = Negative
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 is dividing integers similar to multiplying integers with the resulting sign?
The rules for the sign (positive or negative) of the result of a multiplication is the same as division. For multiplication: Positive * Positive --> Positive Positive * Negative --> Negative Negative * Positive --> Negative Negative * Negative --> Positive For division: Positive / Positive --> Positive Positive / Negative --> Negative Negative / Positive --> Negative Negative / Negative --> Positive
How are multiplying integers and dividing integers alike?
a negative x a negative= a positive, a positive x a positive= a positive, a negative x a positive= a negative, and a positive x a negative= a negative. Same thing with division. a negative divided by a negative= a positive, a positive divided by a positive= a positive, a negative divided by a positive= a negative, and a positive divided by a negative is a negative. U see?
What is negative seven in Parentheses to the second power?
positive 49 Because a negative times a negative is a positive. -7*-7=49. positive * positive = positive negative * negative= positive positive * negative = Negative
Is a cathode positive or negative in capacitor?
Depending on the capacitor we are using it will have a cathode.For example if we take a unicapacitor(it will allow current on both sides) it will have a negative and a bi capacitor it will not have negative
Do ac capacitor have positive and negative polarity?
both
Why capacitor does not store alternate current but store direct current?
Because Alternet current has both positive as well as negative cycle capacitor does not conduct for negative cycle of the Alternet current and DC all are positive cycle thats why it capacitor conduct for DC not for AC
What is the net charge on the charged capacitor?
there is no net charge on the capacitor because nomber of positive and negative charge and negetive are equal.
How do you charge a capacitor?
You charge a capacitor by placing DC voltage across its terminal leads. Make sure when using a polarized capacitor to place positive voltage across the positive lead (the longer lead) and negative voltage across the negative lead. Also make sure that the voltage you charge the capacitor to doesn't exceeds its voltage rating.
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.
Why the capacitor has two positive and negative plats in it?
if your on apex get off this f@#king now
Why was the capacitor discharging current negative?
When a capacitor is discharging, current is flowing out of the capacitor to other elements in the circuit, similar to a battery. Current flowing out of an element, by convention, is defined as negative current, while current flowing into an element, such as a resistor, is defined as positive current. Thus a discharging capacitor will always have a negative current.
When a capacitor is being discharged in which direction does positive charge flow?
The 'conventional current' flows out of the positive side of the charged capacitor, and into the negative side. However, even though we never talk about it, we know that the things that actually carry the physical current around are the negatively charged electrons, and we know that when a capacitor is discharging, the electrons are flowing out of the negative side and into the positive side.
Why the capacitor broke?
You probably put the negative end in to a positive power source. Did you enjoy the fumes?
What leg of a Tantalum capacitor goes to negative?
The positive lead is marked with a red dot or a + symbol.
Wiring 1 farad capacitor?
the capacitor has 2 wires or poles, one is the ground or negative and the other one is the hot or positive... if it is for car audio amp the ground is connected to the chassis and the positive is connected to the battery and to the positive wire of the amp.
