An electrolytic capacitor is a type of capacitor that uses an electrolyte as one of its plates, to achievea larger capacitance per unit volume than other types of capacitors.

Electrolytic capacitors are generally used in electronic equipment, and their greatest advantage is thatthey can exhibit a large amount of capacitance in a small case size.

An electrolytic capacitor is an electrical capacitor with an electrolyte between the two plates.
