1. Can I replace film capacitors with ceramic capacitors?

In many cases, ceramic capacitors can be used to replace film capacitors, especially when smaller size and lower cost are required. However, it is important to note that ceramic capacitors may have different temperature coefficients and self-healing characteristics, which may affect performance in a specific application.
2. How do I know if my ceramic capacitor is bad?

Visual inspection: Check for cracks, bulges, or other physical damage.
Multimeter test: Measure the capacitance value to see if it is close to the nominal value, and check for shorts or opens.
3. Should ceramic capacitors have continuity?

A properly functioning ceramic capacitor should show a certain capacitance value between its pins, not completely on or off.
4. Which side of a ceramic capacitor is the positive side?

Ceramic capacitors are non-polarized, so there is no positive or negative side.
