While browsing Google this morning they led me to something interesting in a capacitor article on Wikipedia.
It said that a bipolar electrolytic is just two polarized capacitors wired in series opposition.
With that said I have an example to present.
Lets say I needed a 47uf 50V Bipolar cap however I don't have one on hand but I do have 2 47uf 50V Polarized lytics.
Does that mean that I could wire these caps together one caps positive lead with the others negative (I assume that is what series oppositon means) and they would function just like a 47uf Bipolar?
Or is this like the transistor back to back diode analogy where its only for explanation purposes and in practice it would not work?
