My name is Kevin and i'm in in electrical engineering. My field of study has many terms and a lot of words that aren't exactly in the same category but I still find it interesting.
ampere
noun
The practical meter-kilogram-second unit of electric current that is equivalent to a flow of one coulomb per second or to the steady current produced by one volt applied across a resistance of one ohm.
Example: On the other hand currents of many thousands of amperes may be obtained in the antenna.
automation
noun
The use of largely automatic equipment in a system of manufacturing or other production process.
Example: The company's new automation system has greatly improved efficiency.
fr: automatisation
circuit breaker
noun
A switch that automatically interrupts the current of an overloaded electric circuit.
Example: A circuit breaker controls everything in this house.
fr: disjoncteur
CPU
abbreviation or noun
The primary component of a computer that executes the instructions of a program.
Example: : I need a new cpu for my computer.
fr: CPU
diode
noun
An electronic device that has two electrodes or terminals and is used especially as a rectifier.
Example: The secret to MicroLED is the tiny trio of diodes—red, green and blue—which make up each pixel.
fr: diode
electric current
noun
Electrical current is the flow of electric charge through a conductor, typically measured in amperes (amps). It's the rate at which electrons move through a material, creating an electrical flow.
Example: What is the electrical current of this building.
fr: courrant électrique
electricity
noun
A form of energy resulting from the existence of charged particles (such as electrons or protons).
Example: I need electricity in my house.
fr: électricité
keyboard
noun
A panel of keys that operate a computer or typewriter.
Example: I am writing on a keyboard.
fr: clavier
lightbulb
noun
A device used to convert electricity into light.
Example: I need a lightbulb.
fr: ampoule
monitor
noun
An instrument or device used for observing, checking, or keeping a continuous record of a process or quantity.
Example: I need a monitor for my computer.
fr: écran or moniteur
mouse
noun
A handheld pointing device used to control the cursor or pointer on a computer screen.
Example: I need a mouse.
fr: souris
multimeter
noun
An instrument designed to measure electric current, voltage, and usually resistance, typically over several ranges of value.
Example: A multimeter is a versatile tool used to measure various electrical properties, including voltage, current, and resistance.
fr: multimetre
OHM
noun
The practical meter-kilogram-second unit of electric resistance equal to the resistance of a circuit in which a potential difference of one volt produces a current of one ampere.
Example: All impedances were maintained below 5000 ohms and were checked before and after testing.
fr: OHM
resistance
noun
Resistance is a measure of the opposition to the flow of current in an electrical circuit.
Example: It needs a resistance to not overheat.
fr: résistance
voltage
noun
Electric potential or potential difference expressed in volts.
Example: He technology works by reducing the voltage of mains electricity entering a home or business.
