form factor

form factor
a) The ratio of the RMS value to the absolute mean of a sinusoidal wave (especially to that of an alternating current)

Shugart Associates first introduced the 5.25-inch form factor along with the first 5.25-inch floppy drive back in 1976.

b) Any of several functions that describe the unknown internal state of a particle

I want him to barely remember that this is the form factor that dictionaries used to come in.
