General Electronic terms-E
Electronic:
The use of active electronic
components (integrated circuits, transistors, valves
etc) which require a power supply to function. Such
"active" components will always be used in conjunction
with passive components
Earth
also known as ground to prevent
human from shocks
- Eddy currents
- Currents induced into a conducting
core due to the varying magnetic field.
-
- Efficiency
- The amount of power given to
the load of an amplifier as a % of the power
wanted from the power supply.
-
- Electric charge
- Electric energy or Static charge
stored on the surface of a material
-
- Electric field
- A field or force that exists in the
space between two different potentials or voltages.
Also called electrostatic field.
-
- Electroluminescence
- Conversion of electrical energy
into light energy.
-
- Electrolyte
- Electrically conducting liquid
(wet) or dry
-
- Electrolytic capacitor
- A capacitor having an electrolyte
between the two plates..
-
- Electromagnet
- A coil of wire usually wound on a
soft iron or steel core. When we pass current through
the coil a magnetic field is generated.
-
- Electromagnetic induction
- Voltage generated in coil because
of
relative motion between the coil and magnetic lines of
force.
-
- Electromagnetic wave
- Wave that consists of both electric
and magnetic changes.
-
- Electromagnetism
- Refers to the magnetic field
generated around a conductor when current is passed
through it.
-
- Electromotive force
- Force that causes the motion of
electrons due to potential difference between two
points. Also called EMF
-
- Electron
- Smallest sub atomic particle of
negative charge that orbits the nucleus of an atom.
-
- Electron flow
- Electrical current formed by the
movement of free electrons towards a positive
terminal.
-
- Electrostatic
- Related to static electric charge.
-
- Electrostatic field
- Force field generated by static
electrical charges.
-
- Emitter
- The semiconductor region from which
charge carriers are injected into the base of a
bipolar junction transistor. Other regions are base
and collector.
-
- Energy
- Capacity to do work.
-
- Equivalent resistance
- Total resistance of all the
individual resistances in a circuit
