 +==== Symbols ====
 +
 +  * The symbol of a general capacitor is given be two parallel lines nearby each other. \\
 +  * Since **electrolytic capacitors** can only withstand voltage in one direction, the **polarisation** is often shown by a curved electrode (US) or a unfilled one (EU). \\ Be aware that electrolytic capacitors can explode, once used in the wrong direction.

 ===== Common pitfalls ===== ===== Common pitfalls =====
-  * ...+ 
 +  * **Mixing up geometry symbols.** Use $d$ (or $l$) strictly as **plate spacing** and $A$ as **active area** in $C=\varepsilon_0\varepsilon_{\rm r}\dfrac{A}{d}$. Check units to catch mistakes.  
 +  * **Forgetting the field relations.** $U=\int \vec{E}\cdot{\rm d}\vec{s}$ and $Q=\oint \vec{D}\cdot{\rm d}\vec{A}$; without them, layered-dielectric problems are guessed instead of solved.  
 +  * **Assuming conduction through the dielectric.** The apparent “current through a capacitor” is displacement-related; no charge carriers traverse the ideal dielectric. 
 +  * **Real-part issues.** Ignoring polarity of electrolytics and tolerance spreads ($\pm 10~\%$ and more) causes design errors; pick suitable component types.
