1. Can I replace film capacitors with ceramic capacitors?

In many cases, ceramic capacitors can be used to replace film capacitors, especially when smaller size and lower cost are required. However, it is important to note that ceramic capacitors may have different temperature coefficients and self-healing characteristics, which may affect performance in a specific application.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
