In the photo below, the top two cap's negative lead is on the right.
(The "-" sign is pointed towards the right.)

The next three appear to be non-polarized.

guys how do u identify the positive and negative leads of the electrolytic capacitor,please explain me with a photo,please

a polarized electrolytic cap will have the (-) side marked on one side with an arrow pointing to the (-) lead, a non polarized electrolytic will not matter how it is hooked up there is no (-) or (+) side.


These are polarized electrolytic caps....
