Definitions

n.名词 noun
  1. 1
    • : Electricity. an instrument for measuring inductance, consisting essentially of an inductor with two or more coils whose relative position may be changed to vary the inductance.
    • : an instrument for indicating a change in a component of a magnetic field vector, especially one related to the earth's magnetic field.
    • : Aeronautics. an instrument that indicates the rate of climb or descent.

Examples

  • The rotor of a variometer or variocoupler is a rotating coil.

  • Another way to make a variable inductance is to make what is called a “variometer.”

  • But, anyway, weve made enough to know the difference between a variometer and a condenser.

  • A new type of variometer has what is known as a basket weave, or wavy wound stator and rotor.

  • To be really efficient a variometer must have a small resistance and a large inductance as well as a small dielectric loss.
