A leading power factor signifies that the load is capacitive, as the load supplies reactive power, and therefore the reactive component is negative as reactive power is being supplied to the circuit. If θ is the phase angle between the current and voltage, then the power factor is equal to the cosine of the angle, cos θ {\displaystyle ...
where the first term has a negative sign because charge leaves surface L (the charge is decreasing), the last term has a positive sign because unit vector of surface R is from left to right while the direction of electric field is from right to left, S is the area of the surface R.
Negative differential resistances can be classified into two types: [13] [77] Voltage controlled negative resistance (VCNR, short-circuit stable, [77] [78] [note 2] or "N" type): In this type the current is a single valued, continuous function of the voltage, but the voltage is a multivalued function of the current.

Voltage droop is the intentional loss in output voltage from a device as it drives a load. Adding droop in a voltage regulation circuit increases the headroom for load transients.
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 ...
The volt-ampere (SI symbol: VA, [1] sometimes V⋅A or V A) is the unit of measurement for apparent power in an electrical circuit.It is the product of the root mean square voltage (in volts) and the root mean square current (in amperes). [2]
An unbalanced system is analysed as the superposition of three balanced systems, each with the positive, negative or zero sequence of balanced voltages. When specifying wiring sizes in a three-phase system, we only need to know the magnitude of the phase and neutral currents.
In quantum mechanics, the Renninger negative-result experiment is a thought experiment that illustrates some of the difficulties of understanding the nature of wave function collapse and measurement in quantum mechanics. The statement is that a particle need not be detected in order for a quantum measurement to occur, and that the lack of a ...
