Hello there,
I'm very new to electronics and am teaching myself. i went to radioshack to buy supplies. This may sound stupid but how can you tell if a capacitor is polarized or not. Sometimes the capacitors are labeled as such sometimes not. The radioshack guy knew nothing but how to work the register.
Are certain metals polarized (like tantalum)? What about when it says electrolytic?
Any help is truly appreciated.
