Capacitors

Surface leakage

Electronic components; Capacitors

The passing of current over the boundary surfaces of an insulator as distinguished from passage through its volume.

Voltage

Electronic components; Capacitors

Electromotive Force, potential, potential difference, or voltage drop, to designate electric pressure that exists between two points and is capable of producing a flow of current when a closed ...

Voltage sag

Electronic components; Capacitors

Drop in voltage levels of electrical distribution system which interferes with the operation of electrical and electronic equipment. Commonly called brownout. Results when demand for electricity ...

Volume resistivity

Electronic components; Capacitors

The electrical resistance between opposite faces of a 1-cm cube of insulating material, commonly expressed in ohm-centimeters. The recommended test is ASTM D257-61.
