Q

What is Lens law and how does it interact with EMF and CEMF on inductors?

A

EMF = electromotive force


CEMF = counter electromotive force


magnetic field opposes changes in voltage
EMF and CMF are 90 degrees out of phase

Q

Know how to change inductance and capacitance into reactive values.

A

Inductive reactance= XL = 2 x 𝛱 x f x L (L in Henrys, f is frequency Hz, 6.28 for 2 x 𝛱)

Capacitive Reactance = XC = 1 / (2 x 𝛱 x f x C)
(C in Farads, f is frequency Hz, 6.28 for 2 x 𝛱)

Q

Define Volt, Ampere, Watt, and Ohm

A

Volt = electromotive force the push


Ampere = 1 coulomb (6.28X1018) electrons per second

Ohm = the resistance or opposition to flow also use for reactance

Watt = power the work that can be done.
