	Form factor may refer to: Form factor (radiative transfer) Form factor (radiative transfer) In physics, form factor of a material, sometimes called emissivity, relates the proportion of energy transmitted by that object which can be transferred to another object.... or emissivity, the proportion of energy transmitted by that object which can be transferred to another object Form factor (physics) Form factor (QFT) In effective field theory, a form factor is a function which gives the properties of a certain particle interaction without including all of the underlying physics.... , a semi-empirical formula used in effective quantum field theories Form factor (electronics) Form factor (electronics) In electronics, the form factor of an alternating current waveform is the ratio of the RMS value to the average value . In case of a Sine wave, the form factor is approximately 1.11.... , an alternating current waveform Electric form factor Electric form factor The electric form factor is the Fourier transform of electric charge distribution in space.The idea originated from young William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin.... , the Fourier transform of electric charge distribution in space Magnetic form factor Magnetic form factor In electromagnetism, a magnetic form factor is the Fourier transform of an electric current distribution in space.... , the Fourier transform of an electric current distribution in space Atomic form factor Atomic form factor In physics, the atomic form factor, or atomic scattering factor, is a measure of the scattering amplitude of a wave by an isolated atom. The atomic form factor depends on the type of scattering, which in turn depends on the nature of the incident radiation, typically X-ray diffraction, Electron diffraction or Neutron diffraction.... , or atomic scattering factor, is a measure of the amplitude of a wave scattered from an isolated atom The geometry of an object, especially in engineering design, including: Motherboard form factor, the size and shape of a computer's motherboard, which sets a lower limit on the overall size and shape of the computer Disk enclosure form factor Disk enclosure A disk enclosure is essentially a specialized chassis designed to hold and power disk drives while providing a mechanism to allow them to communicate to one or more separate computers....
