CORRECTIVE MAINTENANCEIncludes location and repair of equipment failures [16]. | ||
CORRESPONDENCEThe term given to the positions of the rotors of a synchro transmitter and a synchro receiver when both rotors are on 0 degree or displaced from 0 degree by the same angle [15]. | ||
COULOMBA measure of the quantity of electricity. One coulomb is equal to 6.28 x 1018 electrons [1]. | ||
COUNTERA circuit that counts input pulses [9]. | ||
COUNTER EMFThe voltage generated within a coil by a moving magnetic field cutting across the coil itself. This voltage is in opposition (counter) to the moving field that created it. Counter emf is present in every motor, generator, transformer, or other inductance winding whenever an alternating current flows [2] [5]. | ||
COUNTERPOISEA network of wire connected to a quarter-wave antenna at one end. The network provides the equivalent of an additional one-fourth wavelength [10]. | ||
COUPLINGThe process of transferring energy from one point in a circuit to another point, or from one circuit to another [8]. | ||
COUPLING CAPACITORA capacitor used to couple signals [8]. | ||
COUPLING DEVICEA coupling coil that connects the transmitter to the feeder [10]. | ||
