UNIT 6 Passage B;Key terms (circuit);relating to a system devised by George Boole that combines propositions with the logical operators AND , OR,IF THEN,EXCEPT,NOT Boolean DC direct current AC alternating current a configuration of two or more components connected in a circuit so that the same current flows in turn through each of them Series a configuration of two or more electrical components connected between two points in a circuit so that the same voltage is applied to each parallel ;an electrical device characterized by its capacity to store an electric charge Capacitor capacitance an electrical device (typically a conducting coil) that introduces inductance into a circuit inductor the amount of increase in signal power or voltage or current expressed as the ratio of output to input Gain a materials opposition to the flow of electric current; measured in ohms Impedance resistance Capacitance inductance resistor ;an electronic valve having three electrodes, a cathode, an anode, and a grid, the potential of the grid controlling the flow of electrons between the cathode and anode. It has been replaced by the transistor triode a flow of electricity through a conductor; the current was measured in amperes“ Current an electrical device that alters the frequency spectrum of signals passing through it Filter generator that produces oscillations or alternating current oscillator ;an oscillation of small amplitude imposed on top of a steady value Ripple electronic equipment that increases strength of signals passing through it Amplifier Op-amps Operational amplifiers Array 数组（特殊词义） a constant number that serves as a measure of some property or characteristic Coefficient the amount of information in a system having two states Bit a sequence of 8 bits processed as a single unit of information byte ;electronic equipment that provides visual images of varying electrical quantities Oscilloscope A bit that is used in an error detection procedure in which
