Burn-in

Burn-in is the process by which components of a system are exercised before being placed in service (and often, before the system being completely assembled from those components).

See Constant current and Burn-in

Current source

A current source is an electronic circuit that delivers or absorbs an electric current which is independent of the voltage across it. Constant current and current source are electric current and electrical power control.

See Constant current and Current source

Direct current

Direct current (DC) is one-directional flow of electric charge. Constant current and Direct current are electric current.

See Constant current and Direct current

Driver circuit

In electronics, a driver is a circuit or component used to control another circuit or component, such as a high-power transistor, liquid crystal display (LCD), stepper motors, SRAM memory, and numerous others. Constant current and driver circuit are electronics stubs.

See Constant current and Driver circuit

Electric battery

An electric battery is a source of electric power consisting of one or more electrochemical cells with external connections for powering electrical devices.

See Constant current and Electric battery

Electric current

An electric current is a flow of charged particles, such as electrons or ions, moving through an electrical conductor or space.

See Constant current and Electric current

Electric generator

In electricity generation, a generator is a device that converts motion-based power (potential and kinetic energy) or fuel-based power (chemical energy) into electric power for use in an external circuit.

See Constant current and Electric generator

Electrical load

An electrical load is an electrical component or portion of a circuit that consumes (active) electric power, such as electrical appliances and lights inside the home.

See Constant current and Electrical load

Electrical resistance and conductance

The electrical resistance of an object is a measure of its opposition to the flow of electric current.

See Constant current and Electrical resistance and conductance

Electricity

Electricity is the set of physical phenomena associated with the presence and motion of matter possessing an electric charge.

See Constant current and Electricity

Electrochemical cell

An electrochemical cell is a device that generates electrical energy from chemical reactions.

See Constant current and Electrochemical cell

Electrochemistry

Electrochemistry is the branch of physical chemistry concerned with the relationship between electrical potential difference and identifiable chemical change.

See Constant current and Electrochemistry

Electronic component

An electronic component is any basic discrete electronic device or physical entity part of an electronic system used to affect electrons or their associated fields. Constant current and electronic component are electronic circuits.

See Constant current and Electronic component

Electronics

Electronics is a scientific and engineering discipline that studies and applies the principles of physics to design, create, and operate devices that manipulate electrons and other electrically charged particles.

See Constant current and Electronics

Energy Star

Energy Star (trademarked ENERGY STAR) is a program run by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) that promotes energy efficiency.

See Constant current and Energy Star

Fluorescent lamp

A fluorescent lamp, or fluorescent tube, is a low-pressure mercury-vapor gas-discharge lamp that uses fluorescence to produce visible light.

See Constant current and Fluorescent lamp

Galvanic cell

A galvanic cell or voltaic cell, named after the scientists Luigi Galvani and Alessandro Volta, respectively, is an electrochemical cell in which an electric current is generated from spontaneous oxidation–reduction reactions.

See Constant current and Galvanic cell

Gas tungsten arc welding

Gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW, also known as tungsten inert gas welding or TIG, and heliarc welding when helium is used) is an arc welding process that uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode to produce the weld.

See Constant current and Gas tungsten arc welding

Homopolar generator

A homopolar generator is a DC electrical generator comprising an electrically conductive disc or cylinder rotating in a plane perpendicular to a uniform static magnetic field.

See Constant current and Homopolar generator

LED circuit

In electronics, an LED circuit or LED driver is an electrical circuit used to power a light-emitting diode (LED).

See Constant current and LED circuit

Light-emitting diode

A light-emitting diode (LED) is a semiconductor device that emits light when current flows through it.

See Constant current and Light-emitting diode

Magnetohydrodynamic generator

A magnetohydrodynamic generator (MHD generator) is a magnetohydrodynamic converter that transforms thermal energy and kinetic energy directly into electricity.

See Constant current and Magnetohydrodynamic generator

Power supply

A power supply is an electrical device that supplies electric power to an electrical load.

See Constant current and Power supply

Reliability engineering

Reliability engineering is a sub-discipline of systems engineering that emphasizes the ability of equipment to function without failure.

See Constant current and Reliability engineering

Series and parallel circuits

Two-terminal components and electrical networks can be connected in series or parallel.

See Constant current and Series and parallel circuits

Shielded metal arc welding

Shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), also known as manual metal arc welding (MMA or MMAW), flux shielded arc welding or informally as stick welding, is a manual arc welding process that uses a consumable electrode covered with a flux to lay the weld.
