Capacitors

resistance

Electronic components; Capacitors

Property of a conductor that determines the current produced by a given difference of potential. The ohm is the practical unit of resistance.

resistivity

Electronic components; Capacitors

The ability of a material to resist passage of electrical current either through its bulk or on a surface. The unit of volume resistivity is the ohm-cm, of surface resistivity, the ohm.

roentgen

Electronic components; Capacitors

The amount-of radiation that will produce one electrostatic unit of ions per cubic centimeter volume.

schering bridge

Electronic components; Capacitors

An alternating current form of wheatstone bridge, used for comparing capacitances or for measuring the phase angle of a capacitor by comparison with a standard capacitor.

semiconductor

Electronic components; Capacitors

A material whose resistivity is between that of insulators and conductors. The resistivity is often changed by light, heat, an electric field, or magnetic field. Current flow is often achieved by ...

series lamp operation

Electronic components; Capacitors

Refers to ballasts that employ a single current path passing through all lamps operated by the ballast If one lamp should fail, companion lamps operated by the same ballast will also extinguish.
