  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. Per-unit system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Per-unit_system

    In the power systems analysis field of electrical engineering, a per-unit system is the expression of system quantities as fractions of a defined base unit quantity. . Calculations are simplified because quantities expressed as per-unit do not change when they are referred from one side of a transformer to t

  4. Reactances of synchronous machines - Wikipedia

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

    The state is very brief, as the current in the damper winding quickly decays allowing the armature flux to enter the rotor poles only. The generator goes into transient state; in the transient state (′) the flux is still out of the field winding of the rotor. The transient state decays to steady-state in few cycles. [6]

  5. Lenz's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenz's_law

    Lenz's law states that: The current induced in a circuit due to a change in a magnetic field is directed to oppose the change in flux and to exert a mechanical force which opposes the motion.

    azimuthal quantum number: unitless magnetization: ampere per meter (A/m) moment of force often simply called moment or torque newton meter (N⋅m) mass: kilogram (kg) normal vector unit varies depending on context atomic number: unitless

  7. 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.

  8. Foster's reactance theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foster's_reactance_theorem

    Foster's reactance theorem is an important theorem in the fields of electrical network analysis and synthesis. The theorem states that the reactance of a passive, lossless two-terminal ( one-port ) network always strictly monotonically increases with frequency.

  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]
