Hello, I'm new to electrical engineering here, and I just wanted to ask this:
What are the pros and cons of polarized and non-polarized capacitors?
One helps polar bears, the other harms them
i don't know how to respond to this. i want a girlfriend. do you know how i can get a girlfriend?
Oh fuck dude, I'm third year EE and I wouldn't know what to tell you.
Have you tried /diy/? They have a pretty good electronics general there.

A non-polarized capacitor works better with AC applications, because it has smaller current leakage when the current goes "the wrong way". However, polarized capacitors are cheaper and sometimes smaller.
In age of google, you tube and infinite resources you can't find answer that you come here on r9k
You should drop you engineering college and go wipe old people asses this is what you are suited for.
I hate faggots that go to study something just because they think they will get a lot of money.

Go to /diy/ friendo

Frankly, what the other anons say: fuck you.
However, I will oblige, p-caps usually have fuckoff huge capacitances compared to normal caps. However they can only collect a one directional flow of current. Anything else and they explode.
Normal capacitors can be used for LC circuits, but have lower capacitances

You'll grow up someday
