voltage

Electronic components; Capacitors

Electromotive Force, potential, potential difference, or voltage drop, to designate electric pressure that exists between two points and is capable of producing a flow of current ...

voltage sag

Electronic components; Capacitors

Drop in voltage levels of electrical distribution system which interferes with the operation of electrical and electronic equipment. Commonly called brownout. Results when demand ...

volume resistivity

Electronic components; Capacitors

The electrical resistance between opposite faces of a 1-cm cube of insulating material, commonly expressed in ohm-centimeters. The recommended test is ASTM D257-61.

water absorption

Electronic components; Capacitors

Ratio of the weight of water absorbed by a material to the weight of the dry material.

wire

Electronic components; Capacitors

A conductor of round, square, or rectangular section, either bare or insulated.

yield strength

Electronic components; Capacitors

The lowest stress at which a material undergoes plastic deformation. Below this stress, the material is elastic; above it, viscous.

surge

Electronic components; Capacitors

A transient variation in the current and/or potential at a point in the circuit.
