and is measured in ohms (represented by the symbol “ Z” ).
Input
The part of a circuit that accepts a signal for processing.
Insulator
Material that resists the flow of current.
Interface
Usually the hardware that provides communication between various items
of equipment using common physical interconnection characteristics, signal
characteristics, and meanings of interchanged signals.
Inverter
A device used to convert direct current into alternating current.
I/O
Input/Output.
