LC CHOKE-INPUT FILTERThis filter is used in power supplies where voltage regulation is important and where the output current is relatively high and subject to varying load conditions [7]. | ||
LEADThe opposite of lag. Also a WIRE or CONNECTION [2]. | ||
LEAD INDUCTANCEThe inductance of the lead wires connecting the internal components of an electron tube [11]. | ||
LEAD SHEATHA continuous jacket of lead molded around a single conductor or multiple conductor cable. Generally used to ensure conductors are protected from water or extensive moisture [4]. | ||
LEAKAGE CURRENTThe small amount of current that flows through the dielectric between the conductors of a transmission line [10]. | ||
LEAKAGE FLUXMagnetic flux lines produced by the primary winding that do not link the turns of the secondary winding [2]. | ||
LEAKAGE RESISTANCEThe electrical resistance that opposes the flow of current through the dielectric of a capacitor. The higher the leakage resistance, the slower the capacitor discharges or leaks across the dielectric [2]. | ||
LEAST SIGNIFICANT DIGITThe LSD is the digit whose position within a given number expression has the least weighting power [13]. | ||
LEFT-HAND RULE FOR GENERATORSA rule or procedure used to determine the direction of current flow in a generator [2] [5]. | ||
