  2. AC power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC_power

    [1]: 3 The portion of instantaneous power that results in no net transfer of energy but instead oscillates between the source and load in each cycle due to stored energy is known as instantaneous reactive power, and its amplitude is the absolute value of reactive power.

  3. Power (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_(physics)

    Power in mechanical systems is the combination of forces and movement. In particular, power is the product of a force on an object and the object's velocity, or the product of a torque on a shaft and the shaft's angular velocity. Mechanical power is also described as the time derivative of work.

  4. Mathematics of three-phase electric power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematics_of_three-phase...

    The plotted line represents the variation of instantaneous voltage (or current) with respect to time. This cycle repeats with a frequency that depends on the power system. In electrical engineering, three-phase electric power systems have at least three conductors carrying alternating voltages that are offset in time by one-third of the period ...

  5. Poynting vector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poynting_vector

    A phasor such as E m is understood to signify a sinusoidally varying field whose instantaneous amplitude E(t) follows the real part of E m e jωt where ω is the (radian) frequency of the sinusoidal wave being considered. In the time domain, it will be seen that the instantaneous power flow will be fluctuating at a frequency of 2ω.

  6. Volt-ampere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volt-ampere

    Instantaneous power is still the product of instantaneous current and instantaneous voltage, but if both of those are ideal sine waves driving a purely resistive load (like an incandescent light bulb), average power becomes (with subscripts designating average (av), peak amplitude (pk) and root mean square (rms)):

  7. Electric power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power

    Electric power is the rate of transfer of electrical energy within a circuit.Its SI unit is the watt, the general unit of power, defined as one joule per second.Standard prefixes apply to watts as with other SI units: thousands, millions and billions of watts are called kilowatts, megawatts and gigawatts respectively.

  8. Turbulence kinetic energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbulence_kinetic_energy

    The TKE can be defined to be half the sum of the variances σ² (square of standard deviations σ) of the fluctuating velocity components: = (+ +) = ((′) ¯ + (′) ¯ + (′) ¯), where each turbulent velocity component is the difference between the instantaneous and the average velocity: ′ = ¯ (Reynolds decomposition).

  9. Poynting's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poynting's_theorem

    where: is the rate of change of the energy density in the volume. ∇•S is the energy flow out of the volume, given by the divergence of the Poynting vector S. J•E is the rate at which the fields do work on charges in the volume (J is the current density corresponding to the motion of charge, E is the electric field, and • is the dot product).
