Electronic engineering

bridge rectifier

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A full-wave rectifier circuit in which four rectifying diodes are connected in a bridge configuration. Each half-cycle of ac input is rectified by a pair of diodes in opposite quarters of the bridge ...

clear memory

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A function in a calculator or small computer that erases the contents of the memory.

decreasing function

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A function whose curve has a negative slope at all points in the domain.

cartridge fuse

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A fuse consisting of a fusible wire enclosed in a cartridge, having a ferrule at each end for plug-in connection.

differential galvanometer

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A galvanometer in which currents in two similar coils neutralize each other; thus, there is zero deflection when the currents are equal.

differential instrument

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A galvanometer or other meter in which deflection results from the differential effect of currents flowing in opposite directions through two identical coils. Also see differential galvanometer.

astatic galvanometer

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A galvanometer with a movable element consisting of two identical magnetized needles mounted nonparallel on the same suspension. Each needle is surrounded by a coil. The coils are wound in opposite ...
