P
PEAK VALUEThe maximum instantaneous value of a varying current, voltage, or power. It is equal to 1.414 times the effective value of a sine wave [2]. |
PEAK VOLTAGEThe maximum value present in a varying or alternating voltage. This value may be positive or negative [6]. |
PEAK-REVERSE VOLTAGEThe peak ac voltage that a rectifier tube will withstand in the reverse direction [6]. |
PEAK-TO-PEAKThe measure of absolute magnitude of an ac waveform, measured from the greatest positive alternation to the greatest negative alternation [2]. |
PEAKING COILAn inductor used in an amplifier to provide high-frequency compensation, which extends the high-frequency response of the amplifier [8]. |
PENTAVALENT IMPURITYA type of impurity that contains five valence electrons and donates one electron to the doped material. Also called DONOR IMPURITY [7]. |
PENTODE TUBEA five-electrode electron tube containing a plate, a cathode, a control grid, and two grids [6]. |
PERCENT OF MODULATIONThe degree of modulation defined in terms of the maximum permissible amount of modulation [12]. |
PERFORATORA device that stores a teletypewriter message on a paper tape [17]. |
PERIGEEThe point in the orbit of a satellite closest to the earth [17]. |
