This quantity in a varactor diode varies with the applied reverse bias voltage, since this quantity varies inversely with depletion region thickness. An analogy between mechanical (0[1])and electrical systems compares this quantity to the reciprocal of the spring constant. (20[1]0[1])Close (0[1])proximity of circuit components at different voltages (0[1])can cause the unwanted “stray” (20[1])or (*) “parasitic” (10[1]0[1])forms (10[4])of (10[1])this quantity. (10[1])In a simple (10[1]0[1])circuit with two components, resistance (0[1])times this quantity gives the time constant. (10[1])Dielectrics (10[2])are (10[1])often (10[2])included (10[1])in a class (10[1])of devices in which this quantity equals cross-sectional area (10[1])times (0[1])permittivity over distance and arises between two parallel plates. (10[2]0[1])For 10 points, name this quantity measured (0[1])in farads. (10[1]0[2])■END■ (10[6]0[2])
