Best Answer

A polarized component is an electronic device that can only be connected in a specific orientation to function properly. This ensures that current flow and voltage are in the correct direction. Examples of polarized components include electrolytic capacitors, diodes, and LEDs.

What is the capacitor and how many types?

A capacitor is a circuit component that stores energy in the electric field set up between its plates.Capacitors are named after the dielectric used to separate their plates (e.g. 'mica' capacitor), and there are lots of different types of dielectric used (too many to list), so there are a corresponding number of types of capacitor.But you can also categorise a capacitor as being 'polarised' or 'non-polarised'; electrolytic capacitors are 'polarised', which means that they must be connected into a circuit while taking into account the polarity of their terminals.Finally, you can categorise them as being 'fixed value' or 'variable'.


What are the different types of Ray Ban Lenses?

In China Polarised Ray ban is made of Plastic Lens. If not polarised,than be glass lens. Any way you may feel light when wearing polarised plastic lens and feel a little heavy in glass lens. But polarised is easy to be scratched. So should be careful when wearing . Hope this can help you !!

No it alternates the power from the circuit/circuits.


Are RayBan G-15 Lens polarised?

No, they are not polarized.


What does a polarised component mean in electronics?

it means that a component can only be installed one way, the wires should not be reversed. Polarized plugs on some appliances have one blade wider than the other so it can be inserted only one way. Some components have one wire longer than the other to indicate polarity. Some are marked with the correct polarity.

Is polarised light EM or not?

Yes, light is electromagnetic, whether it is polarized or not.


What is polarising?

When a charged body is placed close to a nonconducting substance, the molecules of the substance get polarised. This is called polarisation.


Why are sound waves not polarized?

Sound waves (in gas, liquid and sometimes in solid) are longitudinal, not transversal. They cannot be polarised. Sound waves (sometimes in solid) are always "polarised" as the medium must move in a single plane perpendicular to the direction of travel.


How does polarizing sunglasses work?

Polarised lenses have a polarised film/filter which is laminated to a lens. Polarised lenses are used to block horizontal glare which is reflected from horizontal surfaces such as water, the pavement or the dash or bonnet of a car. The laminated film is made of up tiny stripes side by side which are extremely close together and are so small that they won't be visible to the naked eye. These stripes will be fitted to the sunglass frame vertically and will only allow vertically polarised light to enter the eyes of the wearer. The horizontal glare/reflections will be eliminated as they cannot enter a lens with a vertically polarised filter. If the wearer was to tilt their to the side, the lenses won't stop the horizontal glare as they'll be sitting off axis and will allow the bright horizontal glare the pass through the lenses.
