If you, like us, thought that capacitor orientation only matters for polarized varieties like electrolytic capacitors you should read through this article. [Bruce Trump] looks at why some film ...

I suppose a better question is, when is it not OK to use a higher voltage than original? I know with non-polarized capacitors for use in speaker crossovers, they say higher voltage caps simply allow ...

Elecrolytics are more weird then most people realise. The actual capacitor exists at the interface of one electrode and the electrolyte. The other electrode simply acts as a method of contact. If fed ...
