AREA-3 Flashcards
the amount of electrical charge on a single electron
Elementary charge unit (ECU)
used to measure quantity of electric charge; approximately equal to 6.24 x 1018 ECU.
Coulomb (C)
materials having an intermediate resistance to electron flow; usually used in construction of solid-state electronic devices such as diodes and transistors
Semi-conductors
Is the reciprocal of resistance
Conductance (measured in mhos)
a phenomenon when conductors lose their resistance in extreme cold
superconductivity
Power factor for electric motors is between
0.6 to 0.8
Current in AC circuit with pure inductance will
lag the voltage by
90 degrees
In an AC circuit with pure capacitance loading,
the current will lead the voltage by
90 degrees
is a measure of how much counter emf is generated in a circuit or component for a change in current through that circuit or component.
