relationship between resistance, reactance, and impedance

Impedance

Whenever inductive and capacitive components are used in an AC circuit, the calculation of their effects on the flow of

Developing a Sine-Wave Voltage of Motor

AC Generation

An understanding of how an AC generator develops an AC output will help the student analyze the AC power generation

Left-Hand Rule for Generators

Starting of DC Motors

At the moment a DC motor is started the armature is stationary and there is no counter EMF being generated.

Series - Wound DC Motor

Series-Wound Motor

Since the armature and field in a series-wound motor are connected in series, the armature and field currents become identical,

Shunt-Wound DC Motor

Shunt-Wound Motor Operation

The speed-torque relationship for a typical shunt-wound motor is shown in Figure 8. A shunt-wound DC motor has a decreasing
