exploding capacitor :(
I got my electronic lab today and start playing with the 470 uf capacitor. I connected to a 9v source and it exploded . The casing went across the room. what happened? The capacitor was an electrolytic capacitor. Can having the wrong polarity be the cause? If so, why?
Also, i think I busted one of my LED on my kit by not checking the polarity.
