  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 ...

    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]

    Meaning SI unit of measure magnetic vector potential: tesla meter (T⋅m) area: square meter (m 2) amplitude: meter: atomic mass number: unitless acceleration: meter per second squared (m/s 2) magnetic flux density

  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. LC circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LC_circuit

    Inductive reactance = increases as frequency increases, while capacitive reactance = decreases with increase in frequency (defined here as a positive number). At one particular frequency, these two reactances are equal and the voltages across them are equal and opposite in sign; that frequency is called the resonant frequency f 0 for the given ...

  7. 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.

  8. Electrical susceptance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_susceptance

    The reactance and susceptance are only reciprocals in the absence of either resistance or conductance (only if either R = 0 or G = 0, either of which implies the other, as long as Z ≠ 0, or equivalently as long as Y ≠ 0).

  9. Impedance matching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impedance_matching

    Note, , the reactance in parallel, has a negative reactance because it is typically a capacitor. This gives the L-network the additional feature of harmonic suppression since it is a low pass filter too. The inverse connection (impedance step-up) is simply the reverse—for example, reactance in series with the source.
