L
LC CHOKE-INPUT FILTERThis filter is used in power supplies where voltage regulation is important and where the output current is relatively high and subject to varying load conditions [7]. |
LEADThe opposite of lag. Also a WIRE or CONNECTION [2]. |
LEAD INDUCTANCEThe inductance of the lead wires connecting the internal components of an electron tube [11]. |
LEAD SHEATHA continuous jacket of lead molded around a single conductor or multiple conductor cable. Generally used to ensure conductors are protected from water or extensive moisture [4]. |
LEAD-ACID CELLA cell in an ordinary storage battery in which electrodes are grids of lead containing an active material consisting of certain lead oxides that change in composition during charging and discharging. The electrodes or plates are immersed in an electrolyte of diluted sulfuric acid [1]. |
LEAKAGE CURRENTThe small amount of current that flows through the dielectric between the conductors of a transmission line [10]. |
LEAKAGE FLUXMagnetic flux lines produced by the primary winding that do not link the turns of the secondary winding [2]. |
LEAKAGE RESISTANCEThe electrical resistance that opposes the flow of current through the dielectric of a capacitor. The higher the leakage resistance, the slower the capacitor discharges or leaks across the dielectric [2]. |
LEAST SIGNIFICANT DIGITThe LSD is the digit whose position within a given number expression has the least weighting power [13]. |
LEFT-HAND RULE FOR GENERATORSA rule or procedure used to determine the direction of current flow in a generator [2] [5]. |
