N
NEGATIVE ELECTRODEA terminal or electrode having more electrons than normal. Electrons flow out of the negative terminal of a voltage source [1]. |
NEGATIVE FEEDBACKFeedback in which the feedback signal is out of phase with the input signal. Also called DEGENERATIVE FEEDBACK [8]. |
NEGATIVE LOGICThe form of logic in which the more positive voltage level represents a logic 0, FALSE, or LOW and the more negative voltage represents a logic 1, TRUE, or HIGH [13]. |
NEGATIVE TEMPERATURE COEFFICIENTA characteristic of a semiconductor material, such as silver sulfide, in which resistance to electrical current flow decreases as temperature increases [1] [4] [7]. |
NEGATIVE-RESISTANCE ELEMENTA component having an operating region in which an increase in the applied voltage increases the resistance and produces a proportional decrease in current. Examples include tunnel diodes and silicon unijunction transistors [11]. |
NETWORKA combination of electrical components. In a parallel circuit it is composed of two or more branches [1]. |
NEUTRAL(1) In a normal condition, hence neither positive nor negative. A neutral object has a normal number of electrons (the same number as protons) [1]. (2) The teletypewriter operation where current flow represents a mark and no flow represents a space [17]. |
NEUTRALIZATIONThe process of counteracting or "neutralizing" the effects of interelectrode capacitance [8]. |
NEWTON'S SECOND LAW OF MOTIONIf an unbalanced outside force acts on a body, the resulting acceleration is directly proportional to the magnitude of the force, is in the direction of the force, and is inversely proportional to the mass of the body [15]. |
NO-LOAD CONDITIONThe condition that exists when an electrical source or secondary of a transformer is operated without an electrical load [2]. |
