Question | Answer |
---|---|
Symbol for inductive reactance | XL |
Determined by the frequency and amount of inductance in the circuit | Inductance |
Total opposition to the flow of alternating current | Impedance |
Unit of capacitance | Farad |
Found by adding the individual reactance’s | Total reactance in an AC circuit |
Number of times each cycle occurs in a second | Frequency |
A complete positive and negative alternation | Cycle |
How do electrons travel in a circuit? | From negative to positive |
What is the difference in current flow between an AC circuit that contains only resistance and a DC circuit that contains only resistance? | The current flow in a circuit containing resistance only is the same, regardless of whether the applied voltage is AC or DC. |
In an AC circuit, when is the apparent power equal to the true power? | When the circuit consists of pure resistance. |
When is the true power less than the apparent power? | When the current and voltage are out of phase due to reactance in the circuit. |
What is the formula for power factor? | Power factor = watts / volts x amps |
