  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. Load bank - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_bank

    An inductive load consists of an iron-core reactive element which, when used in conjunction with a resistive load bank, creates a lagging power factor load. Typically, the inductive load will be rated at a numeric value 75% that of the corresponding resistive load such that when applied together a resultant 0.8 power factor load is provided.

  4. List of electromagnetism equations - Wikipedia

    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.

  5. Inductance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inductance

    It is helpful to associate changing electric currents with a build-up or decrease of magnetic field energy. The corresponding energy transfer requires or generates a voltage. A mechanical analogy in the K = 1 case with magnetic field energy (1/2)Li 2 is a body with mass M, velocity u and kinetic energy (1/2)Mu 2. The rate of change of velocity ...

  6. 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

  7. Stub (electronics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stub_(electronics)

    About 1/8 wavelength long: (left) 200 MHz stub is 19 cm, (right) 300 MHz stub is 12.5 cm 10 kW FM broadcast transmitter from 1947 showing quarter-wave resonant stub plate tank circuit In microwave and radio-frequency engineering, a stub or resonant stub is a length of transmission line or waveguide that is connected at one end only.

  8. Inductive effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inductive_effect

    Monochloroacetic acid (pK a =2.82), though, is stronger than formic acid, due to the electron-withdrawing effect of chlorine promoting ionization. In benzoic acid, the carbon atoms which are present in the ring are sp 2 hybridised. As a result, benzoic acid (pK a =4.20) is a stronger acid than cyclohexanecarboxylic acid (pK a =4.87).

  9. Ohm's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohm's_law

    Ohm's law states that the electric current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage across the two points. Introducing the constant of proportionality, the resistance, [1] one arrives at the three mathematical equations used to describe this relationship: [2]
