Dissipation factorIn physics, the dissipation factor (DF) is a measure of loss-rate of energy of a mode of oscillation (mechanical, electrical, or electromechanical) in a dissipative system. It is the reciprocal of quality factor, which represents the "quality" or durability of oscillation. Electrical potential energy is dissipated in all dielectric materials, usually in the form of heat. In a capacitor made of a dielectric placed between conductors, the typical lumped element model includes a lossless ideal capacitor in series with a resistor termed the equivalent series resistance (ESR) as shown below.
Tôles feuilletéesLe terme tôles feuilletées est employé en électrotechnique et en électronique pour désigner l'assemblage de fines tôles de fer doux ou d'acier utilisé pour la fabrication du circuit magnétique d'un certain nombre de bobines, tel que les électroaimants, les transformateurs de toutes puissances, ainsi que les pièces magnétiques de certaines machines électriques tournantes. thumb|Le feuilletage permet de réduire les pertes par courants de Foucault. Le feuilletage de tôles est fait de l'empilement de tôles d'acier, de même dimension, les unes sur les autres.
Relative permittivityThe relative permittivity (in older texts, dielectric constant) is the permittivity of a material expressed as a ratio with the electric permittivity of a vacuum. A dielectric is an insulating material, and the dielectric constant of an insulator measures the ability of the insulator to store electric energy in an electrical field. Permittivity is a material's property that affects the Coulomb force between two point charges in the material. Relative permittivity is the factor by which the electric field between the charges is decreased relative to vacuum.
