Best Answer

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.

Where is the positive and negative on a capacitor?

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


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?

Are capacitors polarity sensitive?

The capacitors those are polarity sensitive are called electrolytic and tantalum capacitors. These capacitors are labeled as positive and negative.


Do electrolytic capacitors generally have polarity?

Yes. Electrolytic capacitors are polarized. Capacitors with positive and negative poles generally have positive and negative marks. Generally, for capacitors with pins, the long end of the pin is the positive electrode. For cylindrical electrolytic capacitors, there will be a vertical line printed on the negative side of the capacitor. SMD capacitors generally have no positive and negative poles. --- We're JYH HSU(JEC) Electronics Ltd (or Dongguan Zhixu Electronic Co., Ltd.), an electronic components manufacturer.

How do you identify that capacitor is as Electrolytic capacitor?

Electrolytic capacitors look like little batteries. Any capacitor that looks like this will be electrolytic.Another AnswerElectrolytic capacitors are polarised, so their terminals are marked with positive and negative symbols.

What is batterty?

A battery is a device that stores electric charge by chemical means. Every battery has a anode and a cathode, which corresponds to the positive and negative terminals. The current always flows from the positive (anode) to the negative (cathode) terminal. Because it's a chemical process, batteries always discharge and charge much slower than capacitors, but on the upside always have much more capacity than capacitors.
