coupling

Electrical equipment; Capacitors

The use of a capacitor to connect two circuits. In using the capacitor, only the AC voltage (component) is passed.

creepage

Electrical equipment; Capacitors

Electrical leakage on a solid dielectric surface.

crest factor (lamp current crest factor)

Electrical equipment; Capacitors

Ratio of peak lamp current to RMS or average lamp operating current.

critical voltage (of gas)

Electrical equipment; Capacitors

The voltage at which a gas ionizes and corona occurs, preliminary to dielectric breakdown of the gas.

dielectric

Electrical equipment; Capacitors

The insulating material between the plates of the capacitor. The material is chosen for its ability to permit electrostatic attraction and repulsion to take place across it. The ...

dielectric absorption

Electrical equipment; Capacitors

That property of an imperfect dielectric whereby there is an accumulation of electric charges within the body of the material when it is placed in an electric field.

dielectric constant

Electrical equipment; Capacitors

That property of a dielectric which determines the electrostatic energy stored per unit volume for unit potential gradient.
