LAGThe amount one wave is behind another in time; expressed in electrical degrees [2]. | |
LAMINATED COREA core built up from thin sheets of metal insulated from each other and used in transformers [2]. | |
LANDSConductors or runs on pcbs [14]. | |
LAP WINDINGAn armature winding in which opposite ends of each coil are connected to adjoining segments of the commutator so that the windings overlap [5]. | |
LARGE SCALE INTEGRATIONAn integrated circuit containing 1,000 to 2,000 logic gates or up to 64,000 bits of memory [14]. | |
LASERAn acronym for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation [17]. | |
LAW OF ABSORPTIONIn Boolean algebra, the law which states that the odd term will be absorbed when a term is combined by logical multiplication with the logical sum of that term and another term, or when a term is combined by logical addition with the logical product of one term and another term (for example, A(A + B) = A + AB = A) [13]. | |
LAW OF MAGNETISMLike poles repel; unlike poles attract [1]. | |
LC CAPACITOR-INPUT FILTERThis is the most common type of filter. It is used in a power supply where output current is low and load current is relatively constant [7]. | |
