A term brown out means it is an intentional or unintentional drop in voltage in an electrical power supply system. Brown outs are long-term (hours-long) voltage sags caused by system overload. Deviations from the regular sinusoidal wave, both on the utility side and on the customer side, result in poor power quality.
The relation between electric intensity E, voltage applied V and the distance d between the plates of a parallel plate condenser is given by: V = E*L E = V/L
