Capacitors
dissipation factor
Electronic components; Capacitors
The tangent of the loss angle of the insulating material. A measure of the power factor (or losses) of a capacitor, given as D.F. = 6.28 fRC X 100%, where R is the equivalent series resistance (ESR) ...
dV/dT
Electronic components; Capacitors
Change in Voltage divided by Change in Time, usually expressed in Volts per uSec.
electric strength
Electronic components; Capacitors
The maximum potential gradient that the material can withstand without rupture. The value obtained for the electric strength will depend on the thickness of the material and on the method and ...
electrode
Electronic components; Capacitors
A conductor, not necessarily metal, through which a current enters or leaves a capacitor.
electrolytic capacitor
Electronic components; Capacitors
A polarized capacitor exhibiting a very high capacitance/volume ratio that consists of two electrodes immersed in an electrolyte, with a chemical film that acts as a dielectric on one or both ...
electromagnetic and electronic ballasts
Electronic components; Capacitors
An Electromagnetic Ballast (Magnetic Ballast) is one that uses a Core & Coil assembly to transform electrical current to start and operate fluorescent and high intensity discharge (HID) lamps. An ...
