Ampres circuital
law A law establishing the
fact that the
algebraic sum of the rises
and drops of the mmf
around a
closed loop of a magnetic
circuit is equal to zero.
2. Electromagnetism
Magnetic effects
introduced by the flow
of charge or current.
3. Flux density (B)
Ameasure of the flux per
unit area perpendicular
to a magnetic flux path. It
is measured in teslas (T)
or webers per square
meter (Wb/m2
4. Magnetic flux lines
Lines of a continuous
nature that reveal
the strength and direction
of a magnetic field.
5. Permeability (m) A
measure of the ease with
which magnetic
flux can be established in
a material. It is measured
in
Wb/Am.

6.Relative permeability
(mr) The ratio of the
permeability of a
material to that of free
space.
7 Reluctance (_)
Aquantity determined by
the physical
characteristics
of a material that will
provide an indication of
the reluctance of that
material to the setting up
of magnetic
flux lines in the material. It
is measured in rels or
At/Wb.
8. Frequency ( f ) The
number of cycles of a
periodic waveform
that occur in 1 second
9.Sinusoidal ac
waveform An alternating
waveform of unique
characteristics that
oscillates with equal
amplitude above
and below a given axis
10.Period (T ) The time
interval between
successive repetitions
of a periodic waveform.

11. VOM A multimeter

with the capability to
measure resistance
and both ac and dc levels
of current and voltage
12. Average or real
power The power
delivered to and
dissipated
by the load over a full
cycle
13. Leading and lagging
power factors An
indication of
whether a network is
primarily capacitive or
inductive in
nature. Leading power
factors are associated with
capacitive
networks, and lagging
power factors with
inductive networks.
14. Phasor A radius
vector that has a constant
magnitude at a
fixed angle from the
positive real axis and that
represents a

sinusoidal voltage or
current in the vector
domain.
15. Polar form A method
of defining a point in a
complex plane
that includes a single
magnitude to represent
the distance
from the origin, and an
angle to reflect the
counterclockwise
distance from the positive
real axis
16.Power factor (Fp) An
indication of how reactive
or resistive
an electrical system is.
The higher the power
factor, the
greater the resistive
component.
17. Rectangular form A
method of defining a point
in a complex
plane that includes the
magnitude of the real
component
and the magnitude of the
imaginary component, the

latter component being

defined by an associated
letter j.
18. PHASE DIFFERENCE(PHASE
DISPLACEMENT)
is the angular difference
between two or more
alternating quantities.

19. leading - the

angular displacement of
the alternating quantities
which attain its max
ahead.
20. lagging is the
angular displacement of
the alternating wich

attain its max value

behind.
21. Capacitance- is the
property of the capacitor
that tends to oppose the
change in voltage through
the electrostatic charge it
produced.
22. Capacitive
reactance- is the
property of the capacitor
that tends to oppose the
flow of the current.
23. Wc= energy produced
by the capacitor in a
quarter of period in joules.
