Capacitors
Farad
Electrical equipment; Capacitors
Unit of capacitance. A farad is defined as the amount of capacitance for which a potential difference of one volt results in a static charge of one coulomb. It has the base SI representation of s4 • ...
Power
Electrical equipment; Capacitors
The time rate at which work is done; equal to W/t where W is amount of work done in time t. Power will be obtained in watts if W is expressed in joules and t in seconds.
Power factor
Electrical equipment; Capacitors
Measurement of the relationship between the AC source voltage and current. Formula: Power Factor equals Watts input divided by the product of Line Volts multiplied by Line Amps.
Pressure
Electrical equipment; Capacitors
Force measured per unit area. Absolute pressure is measured with respect to zero pressure. Gauge pressure is measured with respect to atmospheric pressure.
Radio frequency interference (RFI)
Electrical equipment; Capacitors
Form of electromagnetic interference that can be radiated through the air.
Relative humidity
Electrical equipment; Capacitors
Ratio of the quantity of water vapour present in the air to the quantity which would saturate it at any given temperature.
Resistance
Electrical equipment; Capacitors
Property of a conductor that determines the current produced by a given difference of potential. The ohm is the practical unit of resistance.
