  2. Capacitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor

    In many vacuum tube circuits, interstage coupling capacitors are used to conduct a varying signal from the plate of one tube to the grid circuit of the next stage. A leaky capacitor can cause the grid circuit voltage to be raised from its normal bias setting, causing excessive current or signal distortion in the downstream tube.

  3. Electronic symbol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_symbol

    An electronic symbol is a pictogram used to represent various electrical and electronic devices or functions, such as wires, batteries, resistors, and transistors, in a schematic diagram of an electrical or electronic circuit. These symbols are largely standardized internationally today, but may vary from country to country, or engineering ...

  4. Capacitive coupling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitive_coupling

    Capacitive coupling is the transfer of energy within an electrical network or between distant networks by means of displacement current between circuit(s) nodes, induced by the electric field. This coupling can have an intentional or accidental effect.

  5. Capacitance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitance

    The SI unit of capacitance is the farad (symbol: F), named after the English physicist Michael Faraday. [2] A 1 farad capacitor, when charged with 1 coulomb of electrical charge, has a potential difference of 1 volt between its plates. [3] The reciprocal of capacitance is called elastance.

  6. Farad - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farad

    The relationship between capacitance, charge, and potential difference is linear. For example, if the potential difference across a capacitor is halved, the quantity of charge stored by that capacitor will also be halved. For most applications, the farad is an impractically large unit of capacitance.

    A: preset resistor, B: preset resistor (alternate), C: preset potentiometer, D preset potentiometer (alternate), E: preset inductor, F: preset capacitor. In circuit diagrams, the symbol for a variable component is the symbol for a fixed component with a diagonal line through it terminating in an arrow head.

    is the channel output symbol (is a sequence of symbols) taken in an alphabet ; W ^ {\displaystyle {\hat {W}}} is the estimate of the transmitted message; f n {\displaystyle f_{n}} is the encoding function for a block of length n {\displaystyle n} ;

    A less common symbol is simply a series of peaks on one side of the line representing the conductor, rather than back-and-forth. Wire crossover symbols for circuit diagrams. The CAD symbol for insulated crossing wires is the same as the older, non-CAD symbol for non-insulated crossing wires. To avoid confusion, the wire "jump" (semi-circle ...
