EEPROM. or an Electrically Erasable PROM is the same as an EPROM except that an EEPROM may be erased via an electric field, hence the term Electrically Erasable. Because these devices are erased via a voltage and not light they do not require a window like EPROMs do. A Flash EPROM is about the same as an EEPROM but does not require an addition special voltage to be erased, and may be erased all at once and not on a byte bases. Memory].

EFFECTIVE VALUE. Same as ROOT-MEAN-SQUARE.
EFFICIENCY. The ratio of output-signal power compared to the total input power, generally expressed as
a percentage.
E-FIELD. Electric field that exists when a difference in electrical potential causes a stress in the dielectric
between two points.
EIA INTERFACE. Any of a number of equipment interfaces compliant with voluntary industry
standards developed by the Electronic Industries Association (EIA) to define interface parameters.
ELASTICITY. The ability of a substance to return to its original state.
ELECTRIC CURRENT. The flow of electrons.
ELECTRIC (E) FIELD. The field of force that is produced as a result of a voltage charge on a conductor
or antenna.
ELECTRICAL CHARGE. Symbol Q, q. Electric energy stored on or in an object. The negative charge is
caused by an excess of electrons; the positive charge is caused by a deficiency of electrons.
ELECTRICAL CHEMICAL. The action of converting chemical energy into electrical energy.
ELECTRICAL-LOCK. A synchro zeroing method. This method is used only when the rotors of the
synchros to be zeroed are free to turn and their leads are accessible.
ELECTRICAL POWER SYSTEM. Provides the necessary input power.
ELECTRICAL SYMBOLS. Graphic symbols used to illustrate the various electrical or electronic
components of a circuit.
ELECTRICAL ZERO. A standard synchro position, with a definite set of stator voltages, that is used as
the reference point for alignment of all synchro units.
ELECTRODE. The terminal at which electricity passes from one medium into another, such as in an
electrical cell where the current leaves or returns to the electrolyte.
ELECTRODYNAMIC METER MOVEMENT. A meter movement using fixed field coils and a moving
coil; usually used in ammeters and wattmeters.
ELECTRODYNAMOMETER. A meter using an electrodynamic movement to measure an electric
current.
ELECTROLYSIS. The process of changing the chemical composition of a material by passing an electric
current through it.
ELECTROLYTE. A solution of a substance that is capable of conducting electricity. An electrolyte may
be in the form of either a liquid or a paste.
