Final Exam Flashcards
What form is phasor voltage
V = Ae^xj
What is the RMS of an AC voltage and its equation?
It means root mean square and it serves as a value for that simplifies AC voltages for the majority of people. Equation is RMS = V(peak)/(2)^0.5
What is the RMS of an AC current and its equation?
It means root mean square and it serves as a value for that simplifies AC currents for the majority of people. Equation is RMS = I(peak)/(2)^0.5
What is the equation for average power?
P = (Current rms)(Voltage rms) x cos(angle v - angle current)
When do you use average power?
For AC circuit
Explain power correction
A circuit runs most efficiently when the resistance is purely real and therefore power of voltage source is purely real. This is done using a capacitor in parallel, which will counteract the negative imginary component of other systems
Unit for capacitance
Farads
Unit for inductance
Henries
Farads is the unit for?
Capacitance
Henries is the unit for?
Inductance
How are capacitors added?
Capacitors are the opposite of resistors where:
C(Parallel)=C(1)+C(2)
C(Series)=(1/C(1)+1/C(2))^-1
How are inductors added?
Inductors are like resistors:
L(Parallel)=(1/L(1)+1/L(2))^-1
L(Series)=L(1)+(2)
What are the three different types of power?
Real power, apparent and reactive power
The resistance of a cable formula
R = (ro)*Length/Cross Sectional Area
Power factor equation
real power/apparent power or cos(Angle(v)-Angle(I))
