Electronic engineering

air-core inductor

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A coil of wire wound around a hollow cylindrical form or in a loop, designed to introduce inductive reactance into a circuit or system. In practice, the maximum attainable inductance is approximately ...

bucking coil

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A coil placed and positioned so that its magnetic field partially or completely cancels the field of another coil. Troublesome hum fields sometimes are neutralized with such a coil.

concentrated winding

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A coil winding that has a large number of turns in a small space.

bankwound coil

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A coil wound in such a way that most of its turns are not side by side, thus reducing the inherent distributed capacitance.

dynamic transducer

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A coil-and-magnet device that converts mechanical vibration into electric currents, or vice versa. Common examples include most microphones, headphones, and loudspeakers.

delay coincidence circuit

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A coincidence circuit (See and circuit) triggered by two pulses, one of which lags behind the other.

bank

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A collection of usually similar components used in conjunction with each other, usually in a parallel configuration. Some examples are resistor bank, lamp bank, and transformer bank.
