  2. Sink strainer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sink_strainer

    A sink drain cover and a plastic sink plug A sink strainer used to completely replace the sink drain cover. In houses, sink strainers are often used as drain covers in sinks, showers and bathtubs. Water lines or kitchen systems can get gravel, deposits that break free, and other stray items in the line.

  3. Contact resistance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_resistance

    Contact resistance values are typically small (in the microohm to milliohm range). Contact resistance can cause significant voltage drops and heating in circuits with high current. Because contact resistance adds to the intrinsic resistance of the conductors, it can cause significant measurement errors when exact resistance values are needed.

  4. Antistatic device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antistatic_device

    An ionizing bar, sometimes referred to as a static bar, is a type of industrial equipment used for removing static electricity from a production line to dissipate static cling and other such phenomena that would disrupt the line. It is important in the manufacturing and printing industries, although it can be used in other applications as well.

  5. Field-effect transistor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field-effect_transistor

    The device consists of an active channel through which charge carriers, electrons or holes, flow from the source to the drain. Source and drain terminal conductors are connected to the semiconductor through ohmic contacts. The conductivity of the channel is a function of the potential applied across the gate and source terminals.

  6. Static electricity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_electricity

    Static electricity is an imbalance of electric charges within or on the surface of a material. The charge remains until it can move away by an electric current or electrical discharge. The word "static" is used to differentiate it from current electricity, where an electric charge flows through an electrical conductor. [1]

  7. Power MOSFET - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_MOSFET

    NXP 7030AL - N-channel TrenchMOS logic level FET IRF640 Power Mosfet die. The power MOSFET is the most widely used power semiconductor device in the world. [3] As of 2010, the power MOSFET accounts for 53% of the power transistor market, ahead of the insulated-gate bipolar transistor (27%), RF power amplifier (11%) and bipolar junction transistor (9%).

  8. Hydraulic analogy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_analogy

    If one terminal is kept fixed at ground, another analogy is a large body of water at a high elevation, sufficiently large that the drawn water does not affect the water level. To create the analog of an ideal current source , use a positive displacement pump : A current meter (little paddle wheel ) shows that when this kind of pump is driven at ...

  9. Stray voltage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stray_voltage

    Stray voltage is the occurrence of electrical potential between two objects that ideally should not have any voltage difference between them. Small voltages often exist between two grounded objects in separate locations by the normal current flow in the power system.
