Explain how to connect electrolytic capacitors.

What will be an ideal response?


When connecting an electrolytic capacitor into a dc circuit, the positive aluminum plate must be connected to the positive side of the circuit. If this type of capacitor is installed with its connections reversed, the dielectric will be punctured. With the wet electrolytic capacitor, the dielectric will repair itself if the capacitor is reconnected properly. The dry capacitor, however, is permanently damaged if the connections are reversed.
