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".)
Positive + Negative = Negative Negative + Negative = Positive Positive + Positive = Positive Negative + Positive = Negative
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
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?
positive 49 Because a negative times a negative is a positive. -7*-7=49. positive * positive = positive negative * negative= positive positive * negative = Negative
The capacitors those are polarity sensitive are called electrolytic and tantalum capacitors. These capacitors are labeled as positive and negative.
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.

Electrolytic and tantalum capacitors both have polarity.
A device that can separate positive and negative charges is a capacitor. Capacitors store electrical energy by storing positive charges on one plate and negative charges on the other plate, creating an electric field between them.
Yes, tantalum capacitors are polarized, which means they have a specific positive and negative terminal. Applying voltage in the wrong polarity can damage the capacitor. It is important to observe the correct orientation when installing tantalum capacitors to avoid failures.
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".)
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.
Normally all electrolytic capacitors negative lead is marked on the side and if the plastic cover came off and it is new the long lead is the positive.
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.
Positive + Negative = Negative Negative + Negative = Positive Positive + Positive = Positive Negative + Positive = Negative
