Here what happens when you place an electrolytic capacitor with the wrong polarity.

ATTENTION! Do NOT try this at home. You might burn yourself and the generated gas(or liquids) maybe toxic !!

  • Is that a breadboard?

  • PLS where you can buy the white circuit board?

  • @Tiberium5555 From stores that sell electronic components or even from the internet (e.g. ebay)

  • what capacity, what capacitor voltage and what voltage did you put into it?

  • @007agent0007 I don't remember. It's a small one (maybe 470uf). The capacitor's voltage is low (16 volt). The voltage I put into it was probably 20volts
