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
Carrier transport is affected by electric field and by a number of physical phenomena, such as carrier drift and diffusion, trapping, injection, contact-related effects, and impact ionization. As a result, device admittance is frequency-dependent, and the simple electrostatic formula for capacitance, C = q V , {\displaystyle C={\frac {q}{V ...
In addition to the foundational principles and theorems, several analytical methods are integral to the study of electronics: [4] [5] Network analysis (electrical circuits): Essential for comprehending capacitor and inductor behavior under changing voltage inputs, particularly significant in fields such as signal processing, power electronics ...
Electrical loads consuming alternating current power consume both real power and reactive power. The vector sum of real and reactive power is the complex power, and its magnitude is the apparent power. The presence of reactive power causes the real power to be less than the apparent power, and so, the electric load has a power factor of less ...
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. A three-phase system may be arranged in delta (∆) or star (Y) (also denoted as wye in some areas, as symbolically it is similar to the letter 'Y').
Kvar or KVAR may refer to: Kvar, a character from the video game Tales of Symphonia; Kilovolt-amperes reactive, thousand Volt-ampere reactive, a unit of reactive power; KVAR (FM), a radio station (93.7 FM) licensed to Pine Ridge, South Dakota; KPNX, a television station (Channel 12) licensed to Mesa, Arizona, which formerly used the call sign KVAR
A Magic Triangle image mnemonic - when the terms of Ohm's law are arranged in this configuration, covering the unknown gives the formula in terms of the remaining parameters. It can be adapted to similar equations e.g. F = ma, v = fλ, E = mcΔT, V = π r 2 h and τ = rF sinθ.
The telegrapher's equations, like all other equations describing electrical phenomena, result from Maxwell's equations. In a more practical approach, one assumes that the conductors are composed of an infinite series of two-port elementary components, each representing an infinitesimally short segment of the transmission line:
