says that a work of art is a record of a particular artist’s view of
the time and place where it was produced.
Resistor
a device used to store an electric charge, consisting
of one or more pairs of conductors separated by an
insulator.
Capacitor
a component in an electric or electronic circuit
which possesses inductance.
Inductor
an apparatus for reducing or increasing the voltage
of an alternating current.
Transformer
A device that can be a conductor on certain
conditions and insulator on another.
Semiconductor
an instrument designed to measure electric current,
voltage, and usually resistance, typically over several
ranges of value.
Multimeter
measure current, voltage, resistance
Ammeter, Voltmeter, Ohmmeter
a device for viewing oscillations, as of electrical
voltage or current, by a display on the screen of a
cathode ray tube.
Oscilloscope
is the difference between the true or best accepted value and the
measured value
Error
is an indication of the range of error in a measurement.
Accuracy
is a measure of repeatability.
Precision
A system for representing any number as a one-, two-, or three-digit number times a power of ten
with an exponent that is a multiple of three.
Engineering notation
The number to which a base is raised.
Exponent
A symbol that is used to replace the power of
ten in numbers expressed in scientific or
engineering notation.
Metric Prefixes
A numerical representation consisting of a base
of 10 and an exponent; the number 10 raised to a
power.
Power or ten
