Electrolytic capacitors must be connected into a circuit such that:
A)reversal of polarity does not happen.
B)positive lead to positiveVoltage; negative lead to negative Voltage.
C)voltage rating marked is not exceeded.
D)all of these.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Electrolytic capacitors are polarized components and must be connected with their positive lead to a higher positive voltage than their negative lead, otherwise, they could be damaged. Therefore, choice B is correct. Additionally, since they have a maximum voltage rating marked on them, this rating must not be exceeded, otherwise, the capacitor could be damaged or explode. Hence, choice C is correct as well. Finally, to avoid damaging the electrolytic capacitor or the rest of the circuit, it is important to avoid a reversal of polarity when connecting it. Therefore, choice A is also correct. This means that the best choice is D.
