Capacitors
Internal fuse
Electronic components; Capacitors
A device that disconnects capacitor operation from power distribution system in the event of excessive current.
Radio frequency interference (RFI)
Electronic components; Capacitors
Form of electromagnetic interference that can be radiated through the air.
Relative humidity
Electronic components; Capacitors
Ratio of the quantity of water vapour present in the air to the quantity which would saturate it at any given temperature.
Resin
Electronic components; Capacitors
An organic substance of natural or synthetic origin characterised by being polymeric in structure and predominately amorphous. Most resins, though not all, are of high molecular weight and consist of ...
Resistance
Electronic components; Capacitors
Property of a conductor that determines the current produced by a given difference of potential. The ohm is the practical unit of resistance.
Resistivity
Electronic components; Capacitors
The ability of a material to resist passage of electrical current either through its bulk or on a surface. The unit of volume resistivity is the ohm-cm, of surface resistivity, the ohm.
Roentgen
Electronic components; Capacitors
The amount-of radiation that will produce one electrostatic unit of ions per cubic centimetre volume.
