  2. Electrical reactance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_reactance

    In electrical circuits, reactance is the opposition presented to alternating current by inductance and capacitance. [1] Along with resistance, it is one of two elements of impedance; however, while both elements involve transfer of electrical energy, no dissipation of electrical energy as heat occurs in reactance; instead, the reactance stores energy until a quarter-cycle later when the energy ...

  3. Inductance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inductance

    It is helpful to associate changing electric currents with a build-up or decrease of magnetic field energy. The corresponding energy transfer requires or generates a voltage. A mechanical analogy in the K = 1 case with magnetic field energy (1/2)Li 2 is a body with mass M, velocity u and kinetic energy (1/2)Mu 2. The rate of change of velocity ...

  4. Equivalent series inductance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equivalent_series_inductance

    [2] An easy way to deal with these inherent inductances in circuit analysis is by using a lumped element model to express each physical component as a combination of an ideal component and a small inductor in series , the inductor having a value equal to the inductance present in the non-ideal, physical device.

  5. Stub (electronics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stub_(electronics)

    The stub is made capacitive or inductive according to whether the main line presents an inductive or capacitive impedance, respectively. This is not the same as the actual impedance of the load since the reactive part of the load impedance will be subject to impedance transformer action and the resistive part.

  6. Faraday's law of induction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday's_law_of_induction

    However, the relationships between the directions are not explicit; they are hidden in the mathematical formula. A Left Hand Rule for Faraday's Law. The sign of ΔΦ B , the change in flux, is found based on the relationship between the magnetic field B , the area of the loop A , and the normal n to that area, as represented by the fingers of ...

  7. Maxwell bridge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxwell_bridge

    It uses the principle that the positive phase angle of an inductive impedance can be compensated by the negative phase angle of a capacitive impedance when put in the opposite arm and the circuit is at resonance; i.e., no potential difference across the detector (an AC voltmeter or ammeter)) and hence no current flowing through it. The unknown ...

  8. RC time constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RC_time_constant

    It is the time required to charge the capacitor, through the resistor, from an initial charge voltage of zero to approximately 63.2% of the value of an applied DC voltage, or to discharge the capacitor through the same resistor to approximately 36.8% of its initial charge voltage.

  9. Inductive effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inductive_effect

    Monochloroacetic acid (pK a =2.82), though, is stronger than formic acid, due to the electron-withdrawing effect of chlorine promoting ionization. In benzoic acid, the carbon atoms which are present in the ring are sp 2 hybridised. As a result, benzoic acid (pK a =4.20) is a stronger acid than cyclohexanecarboxylic acid (pK a =4.87).
