W
WHEATSTONE BRIDGEAn ac bridge circuit used to measure unknown values of resistance, inductance, or capacitance [16]. |
WIDE-BAND AMPLIFIERAn amplifier designed to pass an extremely wide band of frequencies, such as a video amplifier [8]. |
WINDOWSee SLOT [11]. |
WIREAn insulated conductor, with low resistance to current flow, that is either solid or stranded [1] [4]. |
WIRING DIAGRAMA diagram that shows the connections of an equipment or its component devices or parts. It may cover internal or external connections, or both, and contains such detail as is needed to make or trace connections that are involved [4]. |
WOBBLE FREQUENCYThe frequency at which an electron wobbles on its axis under the influence of an external magnetic field of a given strength [11]. |
WORDS-PER-MINUTEAn approximate rate of speed. It means the number of five letter words with a space between them that can be transmitted or received in a one-minute period [17]. |
WORKThe product of force and motion [1]. |
WORKING VOLTAGEThe maximum voltage that a capacitor may operate at without the risk of damage [2]. |
WYE (Y)—A 3-phase connection in which one end of each phase winding is connected to a common point. Each free end is connected to a separate phase wire. The diagram of this connection often resembles the letter Y [5]. |
