Outrageously Funny Word Dictionary :: Mantelets

👉 In physics, a mantelet is an object that can be made to act as both a conductor and a capacitor. It consists of two conductors connected in series, with one conductor carrying current, and another carrying opposite current. The device has a capacitance that depends on the separation between the conductors. The term "mantelet" is often used to describe this type of device because it can be seen as an analogy for capacitors or transformers.
