Are the two legs for the capacitor the same?

Are the two legs for the capacitor the same?

In a capacitor it is the same, the voltage on either of the plates is normally equal due to the fact that the electrons on each plate are equal in number and we say that the charges on each plate are equal and they have the same potential.

Why are some capacitors bigger than others?

The breakdown voltage of a dielectric layer is proportional to the thickness of the layer. Therefore making thicker layers may create capacitors with larger voltage ratings.

Do capacitor sizes matter?

Generally no, the physical size of an electrolytic capacitor is not a factor as long as the capacitance and voltage ratings are the same. A possible exception is, if it’s a switching power supply that uses low ESR capacitors, then the sizes might be different.

Why are some electrolytic capacitors have a bigger distance?

Today I was thinking about electrolytic capacitors. it’s a question to me Why some electrolytic capacitors have (or manufacturers make) a bigger distance between their two legs? I’m talking about this: I doubt if it would have relation to electrolytic capacitors production line.

How to replace an electrolytic capacitor in a chassis?

What kind of capacitor should I use for cathode bypass?

For low voltage applications, like cathode bypass capacitors, most vintage types have an axial configuration, which is less common today but still available. The more modern radial configuration can also be used if their leads are long enough and they don’t violate your notion of aesthetics.

Which is the voltage limited method for capacitors?

Voltage-Limited Method 2: Using a two stage method, we can use the load of the circuit to keep the voltages in all the circuit’s power supply capacitors within operating range. This is the method that I usually use, and can be carried out by using the equipment’s own power supply.
