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. Why are mica capacitors so expensive?
Mica capacitors are expensive because of their excellent electrical properties (such as very low dissipation factor and stable temperature coefficient) and their high production costs.
-
3. Do ceramic capacitors degrade over time?
The capacitance value of ceramic capacitors may decrease slightly over time and environmental factors, but this is usually a slow process.
-
4. Which side of a ceramic capacitor is the positive side?
Ceramic capacitors are non-polarized, so there is no positive or negative side.
