ELEPHANT TRUNKDucting used for ventilation purposes [4]. | ||
ELEVATION ANGLEThe angle between the horizontal plane and the line of sight to a target or object [11] [18]. | ||
EMERGENCY POWERTemporary source of limited electrical power used upon the loss of the normal power source [18]. | ||
EMF (ELECTROMOTIVE FORCE)The force that causes electricity to flow between two points with different electrical charges or when there is a difference of potential between the two points. The unit of measurement is volts [1]. | ||
EMITTERThe element in a transistor that emits current carriers (electrons or holes) [7] [13]. | ||
EMITTER-INJECTION MODULATORThe transistor equivalent of the cathode modulator. The gain is varied by changing the voltage on the emitter [12]. | ||
ENAMELA synthetic compound of cellulose acetate (wood pulp and magnesium). Used to insulate wire in meters, relays, and motor windings [4]. | ||
ENCAPSULATEDImbedded in solid material or enclosed in glass or metal [14]. | ||
END-FEED METHODA method in which one end of an antenna is connected through a capacitor to the final output stage of a transmitter [10]. | ||
