Capacitors
Schering bridge
Electronic components; 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
Electronic components; 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 often achieved by ...
Series lamp operation
Electronic components; Capacitors
Refers to ballasts that employ a single current path passing through all lamps operated by the ballast If one lamp should fail, companion lamps operated by the same ballast will also extinguish.
Sheet
Electronic components; Capacitors
Any material (conducting, insulating, or magnetic) manufactured in sheet form and cut to suit in processing.
Shelf life
Electronic components; Capacitors
Length of time under specified conditions that a material retains its usability.
Silicone
Electronic components; Capacitors
Polymeric materials in which the recurring chemical group contains silicon and oxygen atoms as links in the main chain.
Sine wave
Electronic components; Capacitors
A mathematical function used to represent voltage and current.
