The amount-of radiation that will produce one electrostatic unit of ions per cubic centimeter volume.

schering bridge

Electrical equipment; Capacitors

An alternating current form of Wheatstone bridge, used for comparing capacitances or for measuring the phase angle of a capacitor by comparison with a standard capacitor.

semiconductor

Electrical equipment; Capacitors

A material whose resistivity is between that of insulators and conductors. The resistivity is often changed by light, heat, an electric field, or magnetic field. Current flow is ...
