  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 ...

    azimuthal quantum number: unitless magnetization: ampere per meter (A/m) moment of force often simply called moment or torque newton meter (N⋅m) mass: kilogram (kg) normal vector unit varies depending on context atomic number: unitless

  4. Blondel's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blondel's_theorem

    Each pairing of a current measuring unit plus a potential measuring unit is then termed a stator or element. Thus, for example, a meter for a four wire service will include three elements. Blondel's Theorem simplifies the work of an electrical utility worker by specifying that an N wire service will be correctly measured by a N-1 element meter.

  5. Electrical impedance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_impedance

    In electrical engineering, impedance is the opposition to alternating current presented by the combined effect of resistance and reactance in a circuit. [1]Quantitatively, the impedance of a two-terminal circuit element is the ratio of the complex representation of the sinusoidal voltage between its terminals, to the complex representation of the current flowing through it. [2]

  6. Foster's reactance theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foster's_reactance_theorem

    Foster's reactance theorem is an important theorem in the fields of electrical network analysis and synthesis. The theorem states that the reactance of a passive, lossless two-terminal ( one-port ) network always strictly monotonically increases with frequency.

  7. State variable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_variable

    In any electrical circuit, the number of state variables are equal to the number of (independent) storage elements, which are inductors and capacitors. The state variable for an inductor is the current through the inductor, while that for a capacitor is the voltage across the capacitor.

  8. Reactances of synchronous machines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactances_of_synchronous...

    The state is very brief, as the current in the damper winding quickly decays allowing the armature flux to enter the rotor poles only. The generator goes into transient state; in the transient state (′) the flux is still out of the field winding of the rotor. The transient state decays to steady-state in few cycles. [6]

  9. Positive-real function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive-real_function

    The condition was first proposed by Wilhelm Cauer (1926) [5] who determined that it was a necessary condition. Otto Brune (1931) [2] [6] coined the term positive-real for the condition and proved that it was both necessary and sufficient for realisability.
