Capacitors
conductor
Electronic components; Capacitors
An electrical path which offers comparatively little resistance. A wire or combination of wires not insulated from one another, suitable for carrying a single electric current.
contaminant
Electronic components; Capacitors
An impurity of foreign substance present in a material which affects one or more properties of the material.
corona
Electronic components; Capacitors
A luminous discharge due to ionization of the gas surrounding a conductor around which exists a voltage gradient exceeding a certain critical value. A type of discharge--sometimes visible--in the ...
corona resistance
Electronic components; Capacitors
The time that insulation will withstand a specified level field-intensified ionization that does not result in the immediate complete breakdown of the insulation.
corrosion
Electronic components; Capacitors
Chemical action which causes destruction of the surface of a metal by oxidation or chemical combination.
coulomb
Electronic components; Capacitors
Unit quantity of electricity; i.e., the quantity transferred by 1 ampere in one second.
coupling
Electronic components; Capacitors
The use of a capacitor to connect two circuits. In using the capacitor, only the AC voltage (component) is passed.
