  2. Telegrapher's equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telegrapher's_equations

    The inductance couples current to energy stored in the magnetic field. It makes it look like the current has inertia – i.e. with a large inductance, it is difficult to increase or decrease the current flow at any given point. Large inductance L makes the wave move more slowly, just as waves travel more slowly down a heavy rope than a light ...

  3. Performance and modelling of AC transmission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Performance_and_modelling...

    This induced emf is represented by the parameter known as inductance. It is customary to use the symbol L for inductance, in honour of the physicist Heinrich Lenz. In the SI system, the unit of inductance is the henry (H), which is the amount of inductance which causes a voltage of 1 volt when the current is changing at a rate of one ampere per ...

  4. Mathematical descriptions of the electromagnetic field

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_descriptions...

    The most common description of the electromagnetic field uses two three-dimensional vector fields called the electric field and the magnetic field.These vector fields each have a value defined at every point of space and time and are thus often regarded as functions of the space and time coordinates.

  5. Inductance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inductance

    The table below lists formulas for the self-inductance of various simple shapes made of thin cylindrical conductors (wires). In general these are only accurate if the wire radius a {\displaystyle a} is much smaller than the dimensions of the shape, and if no ferromagnetic materials are nearby (no magnetic core ).

  6. Electromagnetic induction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_induction

    For example, the drum generator is based upon the figure to the bottom-right. A different implementation of this idea is the Faraday's disc , shown in simplified form on the right. In the Faraday's disc example, the disc is rotated in a uniform magnetic field perpendicular to the disc, causing a current to flow in the radial arm due to the ...

  7. Equivalent impedance transforms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equivalent_impedance...

    This is a particularly important transform for finding equivalent impedances. Its importance arises from the fact that the total impedance between two terminals cannot be determined solely by calculating series and parallel combinations except for a certain restricted class of network. In the general case additional transformations are required.

  8. Skin effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skin_effect

    The inductance considered in this context refers to a bare conductor, not the inductance of a coil used as a circuit element. The inductance of a coil is dominated by the mutual inductance between the turns of the coil which increases its inductance according to the square of the number of turns.

  9. Inductive coupling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inductive_coupling

    k is the coupling coefficient, Le1 and Le2 is the leakage inductance, M1 (M2) is the mutual inductance. An inductively coupled transponder consists of a solid state transceiver chip connected to a large coil that functions as an antenna. When brought within the oscillating magnetic field of a reader unit, the transceiver is powered up by energy ...
