NONLUMINOUS BODIESObjects that either reflect or diffuse light that falls upon them [10]. | ||
NONRESONANT LINEA transmission fine that has no standing waves of current or voltage [10]. | ||
NONTRIP-FREE CIRCUIT BREAKERA circuit breaker that can be held in the ON position during an overcurrent condition [3]. | ||
NORA logic function of A and B that is true if both A and B are false [13]. | ||
NORMALThe imaginary line perpendicular to the point at which the incident wave strikes the reflecting surface. Also called the perpendicular [10]. | ||
NOT CIRCUITA binary circuit with a single output that is always the opposite of the input. Also called an INVERTER CIRCUIT [13]. | ||
NPNAn NPN transistor is formed by introducing a thin region of P-type material between two regions of N-type material [7]. | ||
NULLOn a polar-coordinate graph, the area that represents minimum or 0 radiation [10]. | ||
NUMBER(1) A mathematical entity that may indicate quantity or amount of units. (2) Loosely, a numeral. An abstract mathematical symbol for expressing a quantity. In this sense, the manner of representing the number is immaterial. Take 26, for example; this is its decimal form - but it could be expressed as a binary (base 2), octal (base 8), or hexadecimal (base 16) number [13]. | ||
