Electrolytic capacitor are used in dc power supplies to filter ac ripple .

The rectifier turns ac in to pulsating dc and with a capacitor across the output it holds a charge and so pulsating dc never goes down to zero..

Does 001 farad of capacitor have polarity?

Only electrolytic capacitors (tantalum capacitors are a type of electrolytic capacitor) are polarized.0.001 farad = 1000 microfaradThis is a value that is too large for any practical capacitor except an electrolytic, so yes it will be polarized.


Why is it important consider the correct polarity of an electrolytic capacitor when using it in the circuit?

The electrolytic capacitor can only have voltage across it in one direction. Failure to comply will result in catastrophic destruction of the capacitor.

What are types of capacitor?

Electrolytic capacitors are capacitors in which one or both of the plates is a non-metallic conductive surface, or in other words, an electrolyte. Electrolytic capacitors come in a variety of types including: aluminum electrolytic capacitor; tantalum; and a solid aluminum electrolytic capacitor with organic semiconductor electrolyte or OS-CON.

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.
