The classic voltage doubler circuit that is (or used to be) commonly seen can reverse bias the capacitor at startup. However, unless I have my capacitor chemistry wrong, biasing it correctly can actually repair the small damage caused by a very short reverse bias condition. Re: What happens when you put an electrolytic capacitor the wrong way?
Electrolitc capacitors have markings for the minus (- connection) most times there is a coloured band on that side. You should take care that the polarity of the electrolitic capacitors is correct, otherwise you can damage the capacitor (sometimes even with a loud bang). I have Bertus, but it still does not answer my most basic question.
Good to Know: The Polarized and electrolytic capacitor won’t be connected to the AC supply (both forward and reverse connection) as they are specially designed to be operated only and only in DC circuits in the right way. If so, the capacitor will explode immediately.
Failing aluminum electrolytic capacitors can have significantly adverse effects on electronic circuits. Most technicians have seen the tale-tell signs – bulging, chemical leaks, and even tops that have blown off. When they fail, the circuits that contain them no longer perform as designed – most often affecting power supplies.
AC or bipolar electrolytic capacitors have two anodes connected in reverse polarity. DC electrolytic capacitors are polarized by the manufacturing process and therefore can only be operated with DC voltage. Voltages with reverse polarity, or voltage or ripple current higher than specified can destroy the dielectric and the capacitor.
In case of reverse voltage (negative source to positive terminal and vice versa) will blast the aluminum electrolytic capacitor due to the hydrogen ion theory. In this wrong wiring connection, there is positive voltage across the electrolytic cathode and the negative voltage appears across the oxide layer.
