Schwinger also said about his transformation from a person who saw electrical engineering problems as a pure physicist to a person who saw pure physical problems as an electrical engineer: "I first approached radar problems as a nuclear physicist; soon I began to think of nuclear physics in the language of electrical engineering." [168]
power engineering That part of electrical engineering that deals with the generation, distribution and consumption of electrical power. power-factor correction Apparatus intended to bring the power factor of some load closer to 1. power factor The ratio of apparent power flowing to a load divided by the real power. power-flow study
IEC TR 61597 Overhead electrical conductors – Calculation methods for stranded bare conductors; IEC 61599 Videodisk players – Methods of measurement; IEC TR 61602 Connectors used in the field of audio, video and audiovisual engineering; IEC 61603 Transmission of audio and/or video and related signals using infra-red radiation
Cutaway diagram of a shielded multicore cable with four cores each with three individual conductors. A multicore cable is a type of electrical cable that combines multiple signals or power feeds into a single jacketed cable. [1] The term is normally only used in relation to a cable that has more cores than commonly encountered. [2]
Formed in the United States in 1925, the Insulated Cables Engineers Association, Inc. (ICEA), is a not-for profit professional association. [1] [2] In conjunction with other organizations like NEMA and ANSI, it produces technical standards for the manufacture and use of power cable, data, and control cable.
Electricity and Magnetism is a standard textbook in electromagnetism originally written by Nobel laureate Edward Mills Purcell in 1963. [1] Along with David Griffiths' Introduction to Electrodynamics, this book is one of the most widely adopted undergraduate textbooks in electromagnetism. [2]
Terminal symbol A terminal strip, to which wires can be soldered. A terminal is the point at which a conductor from a component, device or network comes to an end. [1] Terminal may also refer to an electrical connector at this endpoint, acting as the reusable interface to a conductor and creating a point where external circuits can be connected.
The difference can be measured as a difference in voltage potential: the less noble metal is the one with a lower (that is, more negative) electrode potential than the nobler one, and will function as the anode (electron or anion attractor) within the electrolyte device functioning as described above (a galvanic cell).
