  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. Siemens (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siemens_(unit)

    The siemens (symbol: S) is the unit of electric conductance, electric susceptance, and electric admittance in the International System of Units (SI). Conductance, susceptance, and admittance are the reciprocals of resistance, reactance, and impedance respectively; hence one siemens is equal to the reciprocal of one ohm (Ω −1) and is also referred to as the mho.

  4. Electrical susceptance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_susceptance

    Reactance is defined as the imaginary part of electrical impedance, and is analogous to but not generally equal to the negative reciprocal of the susceptance – that is their reciprocals are equal and opposite only in the special case where the real parts vanish (either zero resistance or zero conductance). In the special case of entirely zero ...

  5. Electrical resistivity and conductivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_resistivity_and...

    [1] [2] [3] For example, if a 1 m 3 solid cube of material has sheet contacts on two opposite faces, and the resistance between these contacts is 1 Ω, then the resistivity of the material is 1 Ω⋅m. Electrical conductivity (or specific conductance) is the reciprocal of electrical resistivity. It represents a material's ability to conduct ...

    Continuous charge distribution. The volume charge density ρ is the amount of charge per unit volume (cube), surface charge density σ is amount per unit surface area (circle) with outward unit normal nĚ‚, d is the dipole moment between two point charges, the volume density of these is the polarization density P.

  7. Reactances of synchronous machines - Wikipedia

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

    The reactances of synchronous machines comprise a set of characteristic constants used in the theory of synchronous machines. [1] Technically, these constants are specified in units of the electrical reactance (), although they are typically expressed in the per-unit system and thus dimensionless.

  8. Inertance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inertance

    In respiratory physiology, inertance (of air) is measured in cm H 2 O s 2 L −1. 1 cm H 2 O s 2 L −1 ≈ 98100 Pa s 2 m −3 . Using small-signal analysis, an inertance can be represented as a fluid reactance (cf. electrical reactance ) through the relation:

  9. Tafel equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tafel_equation

    In other words, it assumes that the electrode mass transfer rate is much greater than the reaction rate, and that the reaction is dominated by the slower chemical reaction rate ". [7] [circular reference] Also, at a given electrode the Tafel equation assumes that the reverse half reaction rate is negligible compared to the forward reaction rate.
