Guide to PCB Grounding: Techniques and Ground Planes

In a circuit with one battery with a positive and negative terminal, the negative terminal is usually called the ground. Some circuits have connections called positive, negative and ground. In these cases, the ground is the middle point between the negative and positive terminals measured in voltage. If the voltage is nine, the circuit board ground plane would be 4.5 volts. You would, …

What is the positive charge in a capacitor made of?

As almost always, the positive charge in an electric circuit component comes from the positively charged atoms of the conducting metal. The electrons move away from the plate that is to be positively charged (towards the positive pole of the voltage source with which the capacitor is being charged), and hence there is a net positive charge on the plate, since the ionized atoms'' …

Which side of this board is the capacitor polarity indicating?

Notice the thicker part of the circle on the negative side. Even ignoring the symbol in the center of the footprint, you can tell which side is positive and which is negative based on the context of the other caps. Positive is the short line in the symbol, negative is the upside-down "U" cup shape going around the positive terminal.

Grounding a capacitor involves connecting one of its terminals to the ground or earth. This is typically done using a wire. The ground serves as a reference point and helps to stabilize the voltage across the capacitor. It also provides a path for the discharge of the stored energy in the capacitor, which can be important for safety reasons.
