  2. Static electricity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_electricity

    Fabric softeners and dryer sheets used in washing machines and clothes dryers are an example of an antistatic agent used to prevent and remove static cling. [7] Many semiconductor devices used in electronics are particularly sensitive to static discharge. Conductive antistatic bags are commonly used to protect such components.

  3. Electronic symbol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_symbol

    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) symbol for insulated wires in non-CAD schematics is recommended (as opposed to using the CAD-style symbol for no connection), so as to avoid confusion with the original, older style ...

  4. Polarity symbols - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarity_symbols

    The symbol connected to the dot (usually the symbol found to the right) denotes the polarity of the center/tip, whereas the symbol connected to the broken circle denotes the polarity of the barrel/ring. When a device or adapter is described simply as having "positive polarity" or "negative polarity", this denotes the polarity of the center/tip.

  5. Leakage (electronics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leakage_(electronics)

    The current that flows through these capacitors is due to the capacitors' impedance at power line frequencies. [6] [7] Some amount of leakage current is generally considered acceptable, however excessive leakage current, exceeding 30 mA, can create a hazard for users of the equipment. In some applications, e.g. medical devices with patient ...

  6. Bleeder resistor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bleeder_resistor

    In electronics, a bleeder resistor, bleeder load, leakage resistor, capacitor discharge resistor or safety discharge resistor is a resistor connected in parallel with the output of a high-voltage power supply circuit for the purpose of discharging the electric charge stored in the power supply's filter capacitors when the equipment is turned off, for safety reasons.

  7. Direct current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_current

    This symbol which can be represented with Unicode character U+2393 (⎓) is found on many electronic devices that either require or produce direct current. DC is commonly found in many extra-low voltage applications and some low-voltage applications, especially where these are powered by batteries or solar power systems (since both can produce ...

  8. Inrush current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inrush_current

    Instantaneous current declines to steady-state current as the capacitor reaches full charge. In the case of open circuit, the capacitor will be charged to the peak AC voltage (one cannot actually charge a capacitor with AC line power, so this refers to a varying but unidirectional voltage; e.g., the voltage output from a rectifier).

  9. Laundry symbol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laundry_symbol

    A laundry symbol, also called a care symbol, is a pictogram indicating the manufacturer's suggestions as to methods of washing, drying, dry-cleaning and ironing clothing. Such symbols are written on labels, known as care labels or care tags , attached to clothing to indicate how a particular item should best be cleaned.
