electromagnetic interference (EMI)

Electronic components; Capacitors

Electrical interference (noise) generated by electrical and electronic devices.

electron

Electronic components; Capacitors

That portion of an atom, which circles around the center, or nucleus. An electron possesses a negative electric charge, and is the smallest charge of electricity known.

encapsulating

Electronic components; Capacitors

Enclosing an article in a closed envelope of plastic or other material.

epoxy resins

Electronic components; Capacitors

Straight-chain thermoplastics and thermosetting resins based on ethylene oxide, its derivatives or homologs.

equivalent series resistance (ESR)

Electronic components; Capacitors

A resistive element of the capacitor model found in both the AC and DC domains. Contributing factors: electrodes, leads, dielectric. This value can change with frequency, time, ...

farad

Electronic components; Capacitors

Unit of capacitance. The capacitance of a capacitor which, when charged with one coulomb, gives a difference of a potential of one volt.

fiber

Electronic components; Capacitors

A thread or threadlike structure such as comprises cellulose, wool, silk, or glass yarn.
