How to Create a Non-Polar Capacitor From a Polar Type ???

Instructions.....


    • 1
      Examine the capacitors. The body has a polarity mark on one side, such as a minus sign. One lead may be shorter than the other; if you see this, the shorter lead is the negative side.
    • 2
      Solder the negative leads of the two capacitors together, leaving the positive leads free.
    • 3
      Turn the multimeter's function knob to the capacitance setting. Touch the tips of the meter's probes to the capacitor's leads. Each lead should be connected to one probe tip; do not short the leads together. Observe a reading of about 50 microfarads on the meter's display. Two capacitors having the same value, connected in series, result in a total capacitance of half the original value.
