Capacitors
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 when a closed ...
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 for electricity ...
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.
