difference between polar and nonpolar capacitor

hi all,
what is the exact difference between polar and nonpolar capacitors with regards to their application in circuits. what will be the result if i use polar caps instead of nonpolar caps and vice versa. what are there exact applications.

non-polar cap

here:
**broken link removed**
you can read about the difference between polarized and non-polarized caps ..

you can always replace polarized cap with non-polarized one ..
just remember that polarized caps usually have large capacitance per volume compared to non-polar caps, so it might be hard to find a non-polar cap with an equivalent value ..

rgds,
