VOICE SYNTHESIZER: An instrument that simulates speech by digital control.
The synthesizer assembles and digitizes the various elements of a dialect, so the
appropriate inflections and other speech characteristics of any language can be
simulated.
VOLT: The unit of electrical potential (electromotive force or electrical pressure).
One volt is the pressure required to send one ampere of current through one
ohm of resistance.
VOLTAGE: Voltage is the force (or pressure) that causes current to flow through
a conductor. The voltage of a circuit is the greatest effective difference of
potential between any two conductors of a circuit.
VOLTAGE DROP: Ratio of voltage (or electrical pressure) lost (or dropped)
across a specified load as a result of forcing current flow through that load.
WATT: The practical unit of electric power. In a DC circuit, one watt of power is
used when one ampere of current flows through a resistance of one ohm.
WAVEGUIDE: A rectangular, circular, or elliptical hollow metal tube designed to
transport electromagnetic energy through its interior from one point to another.
WAVELENGTH: (1) The distance in space occupied by one cycle of an
electromagnetic wave at any given instant. (2) The distance a wave travels
during one cycle.
