I continued a phys-l discussion with JD off line. In hindsight, I should have kept it on line so, with JD's permission, I am now posting the off-line part of the discussion.

John,
This is off list.
In https://www.av8n.com/physics/non-polarized-capacitor.htm
you have a sentence that begins with:
"The floating node immediately picks up enough gorge to make it float at a voltage"
but by your definition of gorge, gorge is something that a capacitor or a battery has, not something that a node has. Is this just a typo?
Jeff

Question: will two electrolytics back to back work as a non−polarized cap?
