Electronic engineering

dial-calibrated potentiometer

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A potentiometer with a dial reading directly in output volts, percentage of input voltage, number of turns (when resistance is a linear function), or other quantity.

bridge balance control

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A potentiometer, variable capacitor, or variable inductor that is used to adjust a bridge circuit to balance.

ac line

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A power line that delivers alternating current only.

dual-output power supply

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A power supply with two outputs. Often, one output is positive and the other is negative. In some cases, one output consists of alternating current (ac) and the other consists of direct current (dc).

ac power supply

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A power unit that supplies ac only (e.g., ac generator, vibrator-transformer, oscillator, or inverter). Compare dc power supply.

dc power supply

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A power unit that supplies direct current only. Examples: battery, transformer/ rectifier/filter circuit, dc generator, and photovoltaic cell. Compare ac power supply.
