For questions about the operation and/or protection of polarized electronic components when biased in reverse. Consider also using the "protection" tag and/or tag(s) for the polarized components in question (e.g. "diodes").

For questions about the operation and/or protection of polarized electronic components when biased in reverse. Reverse polarity protection is required for many polarized components (e.g., batteries, capacitors, etc.), though in some cases components are capable of operation when biased in reverse (e.g. diodes) or are possibly even intended to operate in reverse (e.g. Zener diodes). Consider also using and/or tag(s) for the polarized components in question (e.g. ).
