  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. Gyrator–capacitor model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyrator–capacitor_model

    The value of each capacitor in farads is the same as the inductance of the associated permeance in henrys. N 1, N 2, and N 3 are the number of turns in the three primary windings. N 4, N 5, and N 6 are the number of turns in the three secondary windings. Φ 1, Φ 2, and Φ 3 are the fluxes in the three vertical elements.

  4. RLC circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RLC_circuit

    A series RLC network (in order): a resistor, an inductor, and a capacitor Tuned circuit of a shortwave radio transmitter.This circuit does not have a resistor like the above, but all tuned circuits have some resistance, causing them to function as an RLC circuit.

  5. Synchronous condenser - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchronous_condenser

    The reactive power produced by a capacitor bank is in direct proportion to the square of its terminal voltage, and if the system voltage decreases, the capacitors produce less reactive power, when it is most needed, [2] while if the system voltage increases the capacitors produce more reactive power, which exacerbates the problem. In contrast ...

  6. LC circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LC_circuit

    The two-element LC circuit described above is the simplest type of inductor-capacitor network (or LC network). It is also referred to as a second order LC circuit [ 1 ] [ 2 ] to distinguish it from more complicated (higher order) LC networks with more inductors and capacitors.

  7. Faraday's law of induction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday's_law_of_induction

    However, the relationships between the directions are not explicit; they are hidden in the mathematical formula. A Left Hand Rule for Faraday's Law. The sign of ΔΦ B , the change in flux, is found based on the relationship between the magnetic field B , the area of the loop A , and the normal n to that area, as represented by the fingers of ...

  8. Stub (electronics) - Wikipedia

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

    Neglecting transmission line losses, the input impedance of the stub is purely reactive; either capacitive or inductive, depending on the electrical length of the stub, and on whether it is open or short circuit. Stubs may thus function as capacitors, inductors and resonant circuits at radio frequencies.

  9. Capacitor-spring analogy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor-spring_analogy

    Energy stored in a spring is , while energy stored in a capacitor is =. Electric power . Here there is an analogy between the mechanical concept of power as the scalar product of velocity and displacement, and the electrical concept that in an AC circuit with sinusoidal excitation, power is the product VI cos( φ ) where φ is the phase angle ...
