insulation

Electronic components; Capacitors

Material having a high resistance to the flow of electric current, to prevent leakage of current from a conductor.

insulation resistance

Electronic components; Capacitors

The ratio of the applied Voltage to the total current between two electrodes in contact with a specific insulator. A measure of the resistance to a DC current flow through the ...

hysteresis

Electronic components; Capacitors

An effect in which the magnitude of a resulting quantity is different during increases in the magnitude of the cause than during decreases due to internal friction in a substance ...

impedance

Electronic components; Capacitors

The total opposition that a circuit offers to the flow of alternating current or any other varying current at a particular frequency. It is a combination of resistance R and ...

absorption

Electronic components; Capacitors

The adhesion of gas or liquid molecules to the surfaces of solids or liquids with which they are in contact.

AC (alternating current)

Electronic components; Capacitors

Current which passes from the generator in one direction and then the other, alternately.

AC ripple

Electronic components; Capacitors

The alternating current superimposed on the dc bias after rectification in a power supply.
