-
1. Is ceramic capacitor AC or DC?
Ceramic capacitors can be used in both AC and DC circuits. They have no polarity, so they can be installed at will.
-
2. Does the orientation of ceramic capacitors matter?
Ceramic capacitors are non-polar, so the mounting orientation does not affect their function.
-
3. Can ceramic capacitors hold a charge?
Ceramic capacitors can store charge, but they have a higher leakage current than electrolytic capacitors, so they are less able to hold a charge.
-
4. Do ceramic capacitors have a shelf life?
Ceramic capacitors themselves do not have a strict shelf life, but after long-term storage, testing is recommended to confirm their performance.
