Harmonics are integral multiples of some fundamental
frequency that, when added together, result in a
distorted waveform.Harmonic currents and voltages are created by non-linear
loads connected on the power distribution system.
Harmonic distortion is a form of pollution in the electric plant
that can cause problems if the sum of the harmonic currents
increases above certain limits.

What are harmonics in a complex waveform?
Scroll down to related links and look at "Calculations of Harmonics from Fundamental Frequency".
What is the reason of harmonics in transformer and induction motor?
To be very brief, Harmonics are caused because of magnetising current flowing in the primary of transformer, which cause deaviation from the ideal sinusoidal waveform producing peaky currents in the primary. Due to this the core of the transformer gets saturated and the wave form produced in the secondary also gets distorted.
Sources of harmonics?
Harmonics is multiple of fundamental frequency. Spurious is not related to fundamental frequency but it is observed at the output spectrum. Harmonics are generated due to non-linearity of the device. Harmonics can generate spurious. As an example harmonics can produce resonance with mechanical box internal structure and can generate spurious. Harmonics generally generated from TCXO & frequency multipliers. If amplifier is non-linear, this will also generate harmonics. But harmonics very near to carrier generally generates interference to modulating signals. We design final power amplifier as a class AB amplifier to get more output power and better efficiency and also to minimize output power variation with temperature. Since it is non linear amplifier it generates harmonics but it will be very far from carrier and can be filtered easily. See the link for detail :- http://harshit.org/spurious and harmonics.pdf
Why even harmonics are not present in push pull amplifier?
Symmetrical push/pull circuits must cancel even ordered harmonics, like f2, f4, f6 and therefore promote odd ordered harmonics, like (f1), f3, f5 when driven into the nonlinear range.
Why is there a harmonics when there is no load?
Harmonics is electric current or voltages that are part of the power system as a result of nonlinear electric loads. If there is no load and a harmonic is present it can present because of a rectifier in the system.
How are unwanted harmonics produced?
unwanted harmonics are produced when your finger slides over a reactive note after a single note
What are harmonics in music?
Harmonics in music are notes which are produced in a special way. They are notes which are produced as part of the "harmonic series".
Is odd harmonics present in push pull amplifier?
Odd harmonics are theoretically the only harmonics that are produced by a push-pull amplifier, and even the level of odd harmonics should be very low.
What is produced when overtones have frequencies that are whole number multiples of the fundamental?
That are harmonics: fundamental + overtones. Calculations of harmonics from fundamental frequency. Look down to the related links: "Harmonics Calculator".
Produced by vibrations that are multiples of the fundamental frequency?
These are known as harmonics, or overtones.
Plucking the string on a violin or cello is called?
These are called "harmonics" there are different kinds of harmonics, Natural, and Pinch are the only ones i could name. natural harmonics are simple. pinch harmonics are a bit tricky though. hope this helps.
Harmonics on a string instrument are produced by?
lightly touching the string at certain points while the bow is being drawn.
What guitar has the best harmonics?
There are no best harmonics.
Give an example of a common standing wave?
the sound produced by a guitar string: the fundamental wave is a standing wave (its harmonics too).
When was Psy-Harmonics created?
Psy-Harmonics was created in 1993.
When did Sigma Harmonics happen?
Sigma Harmonics happened in 2008.
Why the harmonics are multiples of fundamental frequency?
Because that is how harmonics are defined!
