What Is an Electrolytic Capacitor?
Inside the electrolytic capacitor is an electrolyte material that stores electric charge. It has positive and negative polarity, similar to a battery, and cannot be reversed. The positive electrode is a metal substrate with an oxide film. The negative electrode is connected to the electrolyte (solid and non-solid) through the metal electrode plate.
