-
1. Does the orientation of ceramic capacitors matter?
Ceramic capacitors are non-polar, so the mounting orientation does not affect their function.
-
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. 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.
