INSULATIONA material used to prevent the leakage of electricity from a conductor and to provide mechanical spacing or support as protection against accidental contact with the conductor [1] [4]. |
INSULATION RESISTANCEThe resistance offered by an insulating material to current leakage [4]. |
INSULATOR(1) Material of such low conductivity that the flow of current through it can usually be neglected. (2) A device having high electrical resistance; used for supporting or separating conductors so as to prevent undesired flow of current from the conductors to other objects [1]. |
INTEGRATED CIRCUIT(1) A circuit in which many elements are fabricated and interconnected by a single process (into a single chip), as opposed to a "nonintegrated" circuit in which the transistors, diodes, resistors, and other components are fabricated separately and then assembled [7]. (2) Elements inseparably associated and formed on or within a single substrate [14]. |
INTELLIGENCEIn communications any signal that conveys information (voice, teletypewriter, facsimile) [17]. |
INTENSITYINTENSITY (OF SOUND)—The measurement of the amplitude of sound energy. Generally synonymous with loudness [10]. |
INTERACTION SPACEThe region in an electron tube where the electrons interact with an alternating electromagnetic field [11]. |
INTERCEPTThe point where two lines drawn on a graph cross each other [10]. |
INTERELECTRODE CAPACITANCEThe capacitance between the electrodes of an electron tube [6] [11]. |
INTERFERENCEAny disturbance that produces an undesirable response or degrades a signal [10]. |
