Navy E-6 AE exam
accelerometer - -a device that measures acceleration to which it is
subjected and develops a signal proportional to it.
-armature - -1. in a relay, the moveable portion of the relay. 2. the windings
in which the output voltage is generated in a generator.
-attenuator - -a network of resistors used to reduce voltage,current, or
power
-amplidyne - -rotary magnetic or dynamoelectric amplifier used in
servomechanism.
-auto-transformer - -transformer in which the primary and secondary are
connected together in one winding.
-AVB - -avionic bulletin
-AVC - -avionic change
-azimuth - -angular measurement in the horizontal plane
-bias - -difference in potential applied to a vacuum tube or transistor to
establish a reference operating level
-X-Axis - -spin axis of the gyro
-y-axis - -an axis through the center if gravity and perpendicular to the spin
axis
-Z-axis - -an axis through the center of gravity and mutually perpendicular
to both the X(spin) and Y axis
-wheatstone bridge - -an AC bridge circuit used to measure unknown values
of resistance, inductance, or capacitance
-watt - -unit of electrical power
-capacitor symbols - --) I- when capacitor electrode identification is
necessary, the curved element represents the outside electrode in fixed
paper-dielectric and ceramic-dielectric capacitors, the moving element in
variable and adjustable capacitors, and the low potential element in feed-
through capacitors
