-
1. Does the orientation of ceramic capacitors matter?
Ceramic capacitors are non-polar, so the mounting orientation does not affect their function.
-
2. Can ceramic capacitors be used in AC?
Ceramic capacitors are well suited for AC circuits because they have good frequency response characteristics and low losses.
-
3. 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.
-
4. Can I replace ceramic capacitors with film capacitors?
Film capacitors can be used to replace ceramic capacitors in some application scenarios, especially when better temperature stability and lower losses are required.
