While the film capacitors use thin sheets of plastic films, ceramic capacitors have sheets made out of ceramic material as the dielectric. Both of them are bipolar in nature.
There are many types of Film Capacitors based on the type of plastic dielectric material used in the capacitor, out of which Polyester Capacitor and Polypropylene Capacitors are the most commonly used one.
Generally, capacitors can be classified into two broad categories: Polarized and Nonpolarized. The film capacitor is a type of non-polarized capacitor and is quite popular due to its versatility and low cost.
