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. 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. 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. 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.
