TORQUE VECTORIn a gyro, a vector representing the rotary motion applied to change the direction of the rotor axis. The torque vector represents the axis about which the applied force is felt [15]. | ||
TOTAL RESISTANCE(RT) The equivalent resistance of an entire circuit. For a series circuit: RT = R1 + R2 + R3 ...Rn. For parallel circuits: | ||
TOXIC VAPORSVapors emitted by a substance that can do bodily harm [4]. | ||
TR RECOVERY TIMETime required for a fired tr or atr tube to deionize to a normal level of conductance [18]. | ||
TRACKOperational phase of a fire-control or track radar during which the radar beam is kept on the target [18]. | ||
TRACK RADARRadar that provides continuous range, bearing, and elevation data by keeping the RF beam on the target [18]. | ||
TRANSFORMERA device composed of two or more coils, linked by magnetic lines of force, used to transfer energy from one circuit to another. STEP-DOWN—A transformer so constructed that the number of turns in the secondary winding is less than the number of turns in the primary winding. This construction will provide less voltage in the secondary circuit than in the primary circuit [2]. STEP-UP—A transformer so constructed that the number of turns in the secondary winding is more than the number of turns in the primary winding. This construction will provide more voltage in the secondary circuit than in the primary circuit [2]. | ||
TRANSFORMER EFFICIENCYThe ratio of output power to input power, generally expressed as a percentage. | ||
TRANSISTORA semiconductor device with three or more elements [7]. | ||
