What is the difference between polarized and non polarized capacitors?

Polarized capacitors must be connected to the correct polarity, otherwise capacitors explode, the non-polarized capacitor can be connected in both directions, the polarized capacitor can only be used in direct current.

What is a non polarized electrolytic capacitor?
A non-polarized (non-polarized) capacitor is a type of capacitor that has no implicit polarity; it can be connected in both directions in a circuit. Ceramics, mica and some electrolytic capacitors are not polarized. Sometimes people also hear them call bipolar capacitors.

What is the difference between a polarized and non polarized power cord?
An appliance with a polarized power cord has a plug that matches the outlet. Only one way will it travel. An appliance with a nonpolarized power cord has a NEMA 1-15P plug, but the prongs are the same, so it can go either way. There are three prongs in a grounded NEMA 1-15P.
