LAG

The amount one wave is behind another in time; expressed in electrical degrees [2].

LAMINATED CORE

A core built up from thin sheets of metal insulated from each other and used in
transformers [2].

LANDS

Conductors or runs on pcbs [14].

LAP WINDING

An armature winding in which opposite ends of each coil are connected to adjoining segments of the commutator so that the windings overlap [5].

LARGE SCALE INTEGRATION

An integrated circuit containing 1,000 to 2,000 logic gates or up to 64,000 bits of memory [14].

LASER

An acronym for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation [17].

LAW OF ABSORPTION

In Boolean algebra, the law which states that the odd term will be absorbed
when a term is combined by logical multiplication with the logical sum of that term and another term, or when a term is combined by logical addition with the logical product of one term and another term
(for example, A(A + B) = A + AB = A) [13].

LAW OF MAGNETISM

Like poles repel; unlike poles attract [1].

LC CAPACITOR-INPUT FILTER

This is the most common type of filter. It is used in a power supply where output current is low and load current is relatively constant [7].
