Capacitance of blood vessels — The capacitance of blood vessels describes the distensibility of blood vessels located within the body; it is inversely related to elasticity. Therefore, the greater the amount of elastic tissue in a blood vessel. The lower the elasticity, the… … Wikipedia
Mutual capacitance — is intentional or unintentional capacitance that occurs between two charge holding objects or conductors, in which the current passing through one passes over into the other. Unlike mutual inductance, mutual capacitance only works along short… … Wikipedia
Differential capacitance — in physics, electronics, and electrochemistry is a measure of the voltage dependent capacitance of a nonlinear capacitor, such as an electrical double layer or a semiconductor diode. It is defined as the derivative of charge with respect to… … Wikipedia
Lumped capacitance model — A lumped capacitance model, also called lumped system analysis,[1] reduces a thermal system to a number of discrete “lumps” and assumes that the temperature difference inside each lump is negligible. This approximation is useful to simplify… … Wikipedia
Test light — Neon test lamp for line voltages A test light, test lamp, voltage tester, or mains tester is a very simple piece of electronic test equipment used to determine the presence or absence of an electric voltage in a piece of equipment under test.… … Wikipedia
Touch switch — A touch switch is a type of switch that only has to be touched by an object of greater capacitance to operate. It is used in many lamps and wall switches that have a metal exterior as well as on public computer terminals.A touchscreen includes an … Wikipedia
Proximity detector — Proximity detectors are devices that use mutual capacitance between itself and a nearby human body in order to detect a person s presence. OverviewThe human body is a great capacitor (body capacitance), and the proximity detector s capacitance… … Wikipedia
