Electrolytic capacitor, an Uncommon card
An electrolytic capacitor is a polarized capacitor whose anode or positive plate is made of a metal that forms an insulating oxide layer through anodization.

Electrolytic capacitor quiz: 3 questions
Three questions on the Electrolytic capacitor card, the way WikiCards duels ask them. Pick an answer, the facts are just below.
Find the missing word
This oxide layer acts as the ______ of the capacitor.
Answer
dielectric. This oxide layer acts as the dielectric of the capacitor. From the Electrolytic capacitor article on Wikipedia.
Which of these cards hits hardest (highest ATK)?
Answer
Anna Vissi. Anna Vissi 90 · Electrolytic capacitor 87 · Alkaline earth metal 83 · Mary Somerville 77 ATK in WikiCards.
Which of these Wikipedia articles is read the most in a year?
Answer
Alkaline earth metal. Alkaline earth metal 94,000 · Mary Somerville 71,000 · Electrolytic capacitor 51,000 · Blood culture 20,000 Wikipedia reads over a year.
In a duel, each round asks a question like these about the opposing card, with 15 seconds to answer.
The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- This oxide layer acts as the dielectric of the capacitor.
- A solid, liquid, or gel electrolyte covers the surface of this oxide layer, serving as the cathode or negative plate of the capacitor.
- Because of their very thin dielectric oxide layer and enlarged anode surface, electrolytic capacitors have a much higher capacitance-voltage product per unit volume than ceramic capacitors or film capacitors, and so can have large capacitance values.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Electrolytic capacitor article was read about 51,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 87 and blocks with 86: each hit it takes is cut by 34 %.
How to get Electrolytic capacitor
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
