decade capacitor

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A composite capacitor whose value is variable in 10 equal steps. For example, the values might be set at 100 picofarads (pF), 200 pF, 300 pF, etc., up to 1000 pF. Compare decade inductor and decade ...

barium strontium titanate

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A compound of barium, strontium, oxygen, and titanium that is used as a ceramic dielectric material. It exhibits ferroelectric properties and is characterized by a high dielectric constant.

differential compound dc generator

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A compound- wound dc generator in which the magnetomotive force of the series field opposes that of the shunt (main) field.

desiccant

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A compound, such as cobalt chloride, used for the purpose of keeping enclosed items dry.

differential compound dc motor

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A compound-wound dc motor in which the magnetomotive force of the series field coil opposes that of the shunt (main) field coil.
