  2. Speed of electricity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_of_electricity

    The speed at which energy or signals travel down a cable is actually the speed of the electromagnetic wave traveling along (guided by) the cable. I.e., a cable is a form of a waveguide. The propagation of the wave is affected by the interaction with the material(s) in and surrounding the cable, caused by the presence of electric charge carriers ...

  3. Induction generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_generator

    An induction generator produces electrical power when its rotor is turned faster than the synchronous speed. For a four-pole motor (two pairs of poles on stator) powered by a 60 Hz source, the synchronous speed is 1800 rotations per minute (rpm) and 1500 RPM powered at 50 Hz. The motor always turns slightly slower than the synchronous speed.

  4. Electricity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electricity

    Electricity is the set of physical phenomena associated with the presence and motion of matter possessing an electric charge.Electricity is related to magnetism, both being part of the phenomenon of electromagnetism, as described by Maxwell's equations.

  5. Electron mobility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_mobility

    For example, the value of v sat is on the order of 1×10 7 cm/s for both electrons and holes in Si. It is on the order of 6×10 6 cm/s for Ge. This velocity is a characteristic of the material and a strong function of doping or impurity levels and temperature. It is one of the key material and semiconductor device properties that determine a ...

  6. Faraday's law of induction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday's_law_of_induction

    As noted in the previous section, Faraday's law is not guaranteed to work unless the velocity of the abstract curve ∂Σ matches the actual velocity of the material conducting the electricity. [31] The two examples illustrated below show that one often obtains incorrect results when the motion of ∂Σ is divorced from the motion of the material.

  7. Electric power system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power_system

    The speed at which the rotor spins in combination with the number of generator poles determines the frequency of the alternating current produced by the generator. All generators on a single synchronous system, for example, the national grid, rotate at sub-multiples of the same speed and so generate electric current at the same frequency. If ...

  8. Maxwell's equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxwell's_equations

    Maxwell's equations explain how these waves can physically propagate through space. The changing magnetic field creates a changing electric field through Faraday's law. In turn, that electric field creates a changing magnetic field through Maxwell's modification of Ampère's circuital law.

  9. Displacement current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Displacement_current

    Based on their same speed, he concluded that "light consists of transverse undulations in the same medium that is the cause of electric and magnetic phenomena." [ 11 ] But although the above quotations point towards a magnetic explanation for displacement current, for example, based upon the divergence of the above curl equation, Maxwell's ...
