circuit leakage
1Leakage — describes an unwanted loss, or leak, of something which escapes from its proper location. In everyday usage, leakage is the gradual escape of matter through a leak hole. [ [http://www.m w.com/dictionary/leaking Merriam Webster] ] In different… …
2Leakage inductance — is that property of an electrical transformer that causes a winding to appear to have some inductance in series with the mutually coupled transformer windings. This is due to imperfect coupling of the windings and creation of leakage flux which… …
