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. What is the difference between ceramic capacitors and electrolytic capacitors?
Polarity: Ceramic capacitors are non-polar, while electrolytic capacitors are polar.
Capacity range: Electrolytic capacitors generally offer larger capacitance values.
Stability: Ceramic capacitors are more stable, especially when the temperature changes.
Lifespan: Ceramic capacitors have a longer lifespan because there is no liquid electrolyte to dry out. -
3. 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.
-
4. Why do ceramic capacitors make noise?
Some types of ceramic capacitors (particularly Class 2 ceramic capacitors) produce micro-vibrations when the voltage changes due to their material properties, which in turn cause faint mechanical noise.
