1. Why are ceramic capacitors better?

Small size: suitable for high-density circuit board design.
Good temperature resistance: can work over a wide temperature range.
High reliability: no electrolyte, so it is not easy to age.
Good frequency response: suitable for high-frequency applications.
Low ESR: low equivalent series resistance, which helps to improve efficiency.
2. What is the difference between ceramic capacitors and electrolytic capacitors?

Polarity: Ceramic capacitors are non-polar, while electrolytic capacitors are polar.
Capacity range: Electrolytic capacitors generally offer larger capacitance values.
Stability: Ceramic capacitors are more stable, especially when the temperature changes.
Lifespan: Ceramic capacitors have a longer lifespan because there is no liquid electrolyte to dry out.
3. Does the orientation of ceramic capacitors matter?

Ceramic capacitors are non-polar, so the mounting orientation does not affect their function.
4. Should ceramic capacitors have continuity?

A properly functioning ceramic capacitor should show a certain capacitance value between its pins, not completely on or off.
