Capacitornoun
(electronics) An electronic component capable of storing electrical energy in an electric field; especially one consisting of two conductors separated by a dielectric.
Capacitornoun
a device used in electronic circuits to hold electrical charge, consisting of two conducting plates separated by a nonconducting (dielectric) medium; it is characterized by its capacitance.
Capacitornoun
an electrical device characterized by its capacity to store an electric charge
Capacitornoun
a device used to store an electric charge, consisting of one or more pairs of conductors separated by an insulator.
Capacitor
A capacitor is a device that stores electrical energy in an electric field. It is a passive electronic component with two terminals.
Resistornoun
One who resists, especially a person who fights against an occupying army.
Resistornoun
An electric component that transmits current in direct proportion to the voltage across it.
Resistornoun
an electrical device that resists the flow of electrical current
Resistor
A resistor is a passive two-terminal electrical component that implements electrical resistance as a circuit element. In electronic circuits, resistors are used to reduce current flow, adjust signal levels, to divide voltages, bias active elements, and terminate transmission lines, among other uses.
