  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. 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.

  4. Taft equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taft_equation

    where k s is the rate of the studied reaction and is the rate of the reference reaction (R = methyl). δ is a reaction constant that describes the susceptibility of a reaction series to steric effects. For the definition reaction series δ was set to 1 and E s for the reference reaction was set to zero. This equation is combined with the ...

  5. Capacitor types - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_types

    The total reactance at the angular frequency therefore is given by the geometric (complex) addition of a capacitive reactance (Capacitance) = and an inductive reactance : =. To calculate the impedance Z {\displaystyle \scriptstyle Z} the resistance has to be added geometrically and then Z {\displaystyle Z} is given by

  6. RLC circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RLC_circuit

    Figure 4. Series RL, parallel C circuit with resistance in series with the inductor is the standard model for a self-resonant inductor A series resistor with the inductor in a parallel LC circuit as shown in Figure 4 is a topology commonly encountered where there is a need to take into account the resistance of the coil winding and its self ...

  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. AC power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC_power

    Purely capacitive circuits supply reactive power with the current waveform leading the voltage waveform by 90 degrees, while purely inductive circuits absorb reactive power with the current waveform lagging the voltage waveform by 90 degrees. The result of this is that capacitive and inductive circuit elements tend to cancel each other out. [4]

  9. Chemical equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_equation

    A chemical equation is the symbolic representation of a chemical reaction in the form of symbols and chemical formulas.The reactant entities are given on the left-hand side and the product entities are on the right-hand side with a plus sign between the entities in both the reactants and the products, and an arrow that points towards the products to show the direction of the reaction.
