current or voltage
111Wilson current mirror — A Wilson current mirror or Wilson current source is a circuit configuration designed to provide a constant current source or sink. The circuit is shown in the image. It is named after George Wilson, an integrated circuit design engineer working… …
112Inrush current limiter — An inrush current limiter is a component used to limit inrush current. Negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistors and fixed resistors are often used for this. Less often, other components are also used.The inrush current limiter is placed …
113Traction current converter plant — A traction current converter plant is an electrical substation that converts electric power from the form provided by the electrical power industry for public utility service to an appropriate voltage, current type, and frequency to supply… …
114Stray voltage — is a term commonly used throughout the electric utility industry to describe when infrastructure devices, such as lamp posts, manholes, gratings and junction boxes become unintentionally charged with electricity. The cause of this unintended… …
115Orders of magnitude (voltage) — To help compare different orders of magnitude, the following list describes various voltage levels. Factor (volt) Value Item 10−7 0.5 μV Change in nerve cell potential caused by opening a single acetylcholine receptor channel[1] 10−6 2 μV Noise… …

117Telluric current — A telluric current (from Latin tellūs , earth ) is an electric current which moves underground or through the sea. Telluric currents result from both natural causes and human activity, and the discrete currents interact in a complex pattern. The… …
118Electron beam induced current — (EBIC) is a semiconductor analysis technique performed in a scanning electron microscope (SEM) or scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM). It is used to identify buried junctions or defects in semiconductors, or to examine minority… …
119alternating current (AC) — Flow of electric charge that reverses periodically, unlike direct current. It starts from zero, grows to a maximum, decreases to zero, reverses, reaches a maximum in the opposite direction, returns again to zero, and repeats the cycle… …
