Electronic engineering
current feed
Engineering; Electronic engineering
1. The delivery of power to a device or circuit at a point where current dominates. Compare voltage feed. 2. In an antenna, feeding it at a current maximum.
degaussing
Engineering; Electronic engineering
1. The demagnetization of an object; in particular, the removal of all residual magnetism. 2. The erasure of data from a magnetic or magneto-optical data-storage medium.
disintegration
Engineering; Electronic engineering
1. The destructive breakdown of a material. 2. The stripping of a vacuum-tube cathode of its emissive coating (See disintegration voltage). 3. The decay of a radioactive material.
dc leakage current
Engineering; Electronic engineering
1. The direct current that normally passes through a correctly polarized electrolytic capacitor operated at its rated dc working voltage. 2. The zero-signal reverse current in a semiconductor pn ...
argument
Engineering; Electronic engineering
1. The direction angle of a polar vector. 2. An independent variable whose value determines the value of a function.
acoustic elasticity
Engineering; Electronic engineering
1. In a loudspeaker enclosure, the compressibility of air behind the vibrating cone of the speaker. 2. In general, the compressibility of any medium through which sound passes.
armature gap
Engineering; Electronic engineering
1. In a motor or generator, the space between an armature core and the pole of a field magnet. 2. In a relay, the space between the armature and the relay-coil core.
