GLOSSARY
Coil :
A coil is made of several turns of insulated wire. The property of a coil
is to oppose itself to current variations and is characterized by its
inductance.
Capacity :
The property of a capacitor. The capacity of a capacitor is expressed in
Farad (F).
Capacitor:
Passive component made of two plates separated by a dielectric. The
property of a capacitor is to pass ac current while stopping dc current.
See also capacity and reactance.
Test frequency :
The frequency in which the parameters of a component are measured.
The parameter values depends generally upon frequency.
Range:
Impedance ranges that the instrument uses to perform measurements.
Impedance :
Complex value characterizing a passive component. The impedance has
a real component (résistance) in series with an imaginary component
(reactance). A pure resistance doesn’t have reactance while pure coils
and capacitors doesn’t have resistance.
