Reactance - Law Dictionary Search Results
Home Dictionary Name: reactanceReactance
The influence of a coil of wire upon an alternating current passing through it tending to choke or diminish the current or the similar influence of a condenser inductive resistance Reactance is measured in ohms The reactance of a circuit is equal to the component of the impressed electro motive force at right angles to the current divided by the current that is the component of the impedance due to the self inductance or capacity of the circuit...
Choking coil
A coil of small resistance and large inductance used in an alternating current circuit to impede or throttle the current or to change its phase called also reactance coil or reactor these terms being now preferred in engineering usage...
Impedance
The apparent resistance in an electric circuit to the flow of an alternating current analogous to the actual electrical resistance to a direct current being the ratio of electromotive force to the current It is equal to R2 X2 where R ohmic resistance X reactance For an inductive circuit X 2pifL where f frequency and L self inductance for a circuit with capacity X 1 divide 2pifC where C capacity...
