For analog application that need swinging signal from positive to negative that will not work for you. But for DC applications where signal is always positive (or negative) that will be ok to exchange the capacitors with no harm to your circuit.

Hope that will help you,

if you need to find good quality electronic components i advise you to check www tmartis com, you can find a lot of good stuff there.

A polarized capacitor uses a special form of dielectric that only allows charge in one direction. A non-polarized capacitor does not have that restriction.

The advantage of a polarized capacitor is that, since the dielectric is much thinner, it can be fabricated with very large capacitance in a very small space. In fact, some capacitors have greater than one farad capacity in less than one cm3.

The disadvantage of a polarized capacitor is that you can only charge it in one direction, but this is not an issue in most uses, because these larger capacitors are most often used in power supplies.

In all likelihood, yes. But it will most likely be more expensive to do so - you need to match the same size, and voltage rating.

If you use a polarized capacitor in an application that requires a non polarized capacitor, you will destroy the capacitor.

What is the difference between with capacitor rectifier and without capacitor rectifier?

To know the difference between capacitor and non capacitor rectifiers one must study what is the function of filter part.the filter part consists of capacitors or inductors or combination of both. the output of a simple diode rectifier is pulsating dc which means it consists of both dc part and ac part. filters are used to remove the ac part from such an output. capacitor filter means that a capacitor is used for filtering out the ac part. non capacitor or inductor filter means that an inductor is used for filtering out the ac part. There is another type called pii filter where both inductor and capacitor are used. Pii filter is the best kind of filter available


Charge buildup between the plates of a capacitor stops when?

Charge buildup between the plates of a capacitor stops when the current flow through the capacitor goes to zero.

Difference between ceramic and electrolytic capacitors?

In ceramic capacitors the dielectric is a thin layer of ceramic and both plates are metal foil. These capacitors are unpolarized. These capacitors have negligible internal inductance or resistance.In electrolytic capacitors the dielectric is an ultra thin layer of corrosion on the surface of a metal foil plate and the other plate is an electrolyte paste. These capacitors are polarized and if connected backwards are likely to explode. These capacitors have significant internal inductance, making them bad filters of noise in the MHz range and above which requires ceramic capacitors.
