Polarised capacitor vs. unpolarised capacitor. Which to use when?
$begingroup$ @TheRealJoe That is an excellent link provided except it does not explain why a polarized capacitor must be under the specified polarity. The need to do so was implied with the image of a failed electrolytic capacitor, as in the cap could fail in a puff of smoke and bits of metal if under too much reverse voltage.

How do you find the polarity of an electrolytic capacitor?
When you want to store a large amount of charge in an electrical circuit, learn more about electrolytic capacitors. To figure out capacitor polarity the stripe on an electrolytic capacitor tells you the negative end.
What is capacitor polarity?
Understanding capacitor polarity is crucial for circuit safety. Polarized capacitors (electrolytic and tantalum) require correct polarity, while non-polarized capacitors (ceramic and film) can be installed in any direction. Identify polarity through visual inspection or multimeter testing.
Are electrolytic capacitors polarized?
Typically, electrolytic capacitors and tantalum capacitors are polarized. You can find positive and negative polarity markings on the capacitor’s casing, and it’s important to pay attention to these markings and connect the circuit correctly when using them.
Do electrolytic capacitors reverse polarity?
Some electrolytic capacitors can be used in a bipolar manner that lets them reverse polarity when needed. They do this by switching between the flow of charge through an alternating current (AC) circuit. Some electrolytic capacitors are intended for bipolar operation through unpolarized methods.
How do electrolytic capacitors measure capacitance?
Therefore, the capacitance values of electrolytic capacitors are not directly comparable and differ from those of film capacitors or ceramic capacitors, whose capacitance is measured at 1 kHz or higher. Measured with an AC measuring method at 100/120 Hz the capacitance value is the closest value to the electrical charge stored in the e-caps.
What are the characteristics of polarized capacitors?
Characteristics of Polarized Capacitors: Possess distinct positive and negative polarities and require correct polarity during installation. The insulating oxide layer restricts the flow of current direction, making them widely applicable in DC circuits. Primarily used in circuits requiring larger capacitance values, such as power supply filtering.
