snapover

Electrical equipment; Power supplies

The phenomenon caused by secondary electron emission that can lead to electron collection on insulating surfaces in an electric field.

floating potential

Electrical equipment; Power supplies

The potential a spacecraft comes to under current balance with the surrounding plasma.

plasma potential

Electrical equipment; Power supplies

The potential which accelerates neither electrons nor positively charged ions toward a surface.

insulation resistance

Electrical equipment; Power supplies

The ratio of the applied voltage to the total current between two electrodes in contact with a specific insulator.

conductance

Electrical equipment; Power supplies

The reciprocal of resistance. The ratio of current passing through a material to the potential difference at its ends.

particulate (space particulate debris)

Electrical equipment; Power supplies

The sources of spacecraft particulate debris are Earth, spacecraft, and space environments. Earth particulate is mostly dust, sand, and rocket exhaust. Sources are materials ...

semiconductor

Electrical equipment; Power supplies

A solid crystalline material whose electrical conductivity is intermediate between that of insulators and conductors, and is usually applied field and temperature dependent.
