1. Do ceramic capacitors deteriorate over time?
While ceramic capacitors are relatively stable, their capacitance value may decrease slightly over time, especially under extreme environmental conditions. However, this change is usually small and will not significantly affect most applications.
-
2. Does the orientation of ceramic capacitors matter?
Ceramic capacitors are non-polar, so the mounting orientation does not affect their function.
-
3. Does the voltage of ceramic capacitors matter?
Voltage ratings are critical to ensure safe operation. Using a capacitor below the rated voltage may cause premature failure; using a capacitor above the rated voltage may cause immediate damage.
-
4. Which side of a ceramic capacitor is the positive side?
Ceramic capacitors are non-polarized, so there is no positive or negative side.
