WHEATSTONE BRIDGEAn ac bridge circuit used to measure unknown values of resistance, inductance, or capacitance [16]. | ||
WIDE-BAND AMPLIFIERAn amplifier designed to pass an extremely wide band of frequencies, such as a video amplifier [8]. | ||
WINDOWSee SLOT [11]. | ||
WIREAn insulated conductor, with low resistance to current flow, that is either solid or stranded [1] [4]. | ||
WOBBLE FREQUENCYThe frequency at which an electron wobbles on its axis under the influence of an external magnetic field of a given strength [11]. | ||
WORDS-PER-MINUTEAn approximate rate of speed. It means the number of five letter words with a space between them that can be transmitted or received in a one-minute period [17]. | ||
WORKThe product of force and motion [1]. | ||
WORKING VOLTAGEThe maximum voltage that a capacitor may operate at without the risk of damage [2]. | ||
WYE (Y)—A 3-phase connection in which one end of each phase winding is connected to a common point. Each free end is connected to a separate phase wire. The diagram of this connection often resembles the letter Y [5]. | ||
