Glossary: Electronics (Mike Jaroch)

IN PHASE

Applied to the condition that exists when two waves of the same frequency pass through their maximum and minimum values of like polarity at the same instant [2].

IN-CIRCUIT METER

A meter permanently installed in a circuit; used to monitor circuit operation [3].

INCIDENT WAVE

(1) The wave that strikes the surface of a medium. (2) The wave that travels from the sending end to the receiving end of a transmission line [10].

INCOHERENT

Refers to radiation on a broad band of frequencies [17].

INDEX OF REFRACTION

The degree of bending of an RF wave when passing from one medium to
another [18].

INDICATOR

Equipment in radar that provides a visual presentation of target position information [18].

INDIRECTLY HEATED CATHODE

Same as the directly heated cathode with one exception: The hot filament raises the temperature of the sleeve around the filament; the sleeve then becomes the electron emitter [6].

INDUCED CHARGE

An electrostatic charge produced on an object by the electric field that surrounds a nearby object [1].

INDUCED CURRENT

Current caused by the relative motion between a conductor and a magnetic field [1].

INDUCED ELECTROMOTIVE FORCE

The electromotive force induced in a conductor because of the relative motion between the conductor and a magnetic field [1].
