Inductance

Capacity for induction the coefficient of self induction...

Induction in a circuit due to the action of one portion of a current upon an adjacent portion during periods of varying current strength The nature of the induction is such as to oppose the action which produces it...

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...

Reactance

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...

Self excite

To energize or excite the field magnets of a dynamo by induction from the residual magnetism of its cores leading all or a part of the current thus produced through the field magnet coils...

Advowson

Advowson [fr. advocare, Lat.], a right of presentation to, or the patronage of, a church or spiritual living; the person possessed of this right or patronage being called the patron or advocate (patronus aut advocatus), on account of his obligation to protect and defend the privileges of the particular benefice. An advowson is in the nature of a temporal property and spiritual trust. For the origin and history of advowsons, consult Mirehouse on Advowsons, pp. 1-6.There are several kinds of advowsons, viz.:--(I.) Presentative advowsons, subdivided into,Appendant.In gross, andPartly appendant, and partly in gross.(II.) Collative advowsons.(I.) A presentative advowson appendant is a right of patronage annexed to the possession of some corporeal hereditament. Thus, where an advowson has immemorially passed together with a manor or reputed manor by a simple grant of such manor, without particularly referring to the advowson, it is then said to be appendant, i.e., annexed to the demesnes of ...
