COMPLEX WAVE(1) A waveform other than a sine wave [9]. (2) A wave that is produced by combining two or more pure tones at the same time [10] [12]. | ||
COMPOUND-WOUND MOTORS AND GENERATORSMachines that have a series field in addition to a shunt field. Such machines have characteristics of both series- and shunt-wound machines [5]. | ||
COMPRESSION WAVESLongitudinal waves that have been compressed (made more dense) as they move away from the source [10]. | ||
COMPUTERA data processor that can perform substantial computation, including numerous arithmetic or logic operations, without intervention by a human operator during the run [13]. | ||
CONCURRENTPertaining to the occurrence of two or more events or activities within the same specified interval of time [13]. | ||
CONDUCTANCEThe ability of a material to conduct or carry an electric current. It is the reciprocal of the resistance of the material and is expressed in mhos or siemens [1] [4] [10]. | ||
CONDUCTION BANDA partially filled energy band in which electrons can move freely [7]. | ||
CONDUCTIVITYThe ease with which a substance transmits electricity [1]. | ||
CONDUCTOR(1) A material with a large number of free electrons. (2) A material that easily permits electric current to flow [1]. | ||
