Ideal capacitors and ideal inductors do not dissipate energy, they store energy and release energy like a spring or pendulum. This type of impedance is called reactance as opposed to resistance. Reactance is represented by imaginary numbers, while resistance is represented by real numbers.

Real world capacitors have an Effective Series Resistance (ESR) that consumes a small, usually negligible, amount of energy.

What happens to an inductive circuit when capacitance is added for power factor correction?

The capacitance counter acts the inductivity (decreases it) without impacting the resistivivity, thus increasing the power factor, or resistivity / inductivity ratio.

Definition of a capacitance in mosfet?

Capacitance in mosfet is of three types: gate capacitance diffusion capacitance routing capacitance Gate capacitance: limits the speed of the device t which it can be operated Diffusion capacitance: It is the capacitance due to charge carriers between drain and source. Routing capacitance: It is the capacitance of the metal which is deposited on the top of oxide layer.


How much power in watts will an led bulb consume if its energy is 6 joules?

Joules (energy) are not equivalent to Watts (power).If something converts 6 Joules every second, it is 6 Watts. If it takes ten seconds to convert 6 Joules, its power is 0.6 Watts.Multiply the Watts by the seconds to find the Joules.CommentYou do not 'consume' power. Power is simply a rate; you cannot consume a rate! You consume energy; the rate at which you consume it is power.


What is the power consumption of a capacitor or inductor?

Capacitors and Inductors theoretically consume no power. In real life, they only consume power because they have an internal resistance.


What is a Kill-a-Watt-meter?

Kill-a-Watt is a commercial product that measures the number of kilowatts of power you consume from the power line connected to it.One Kilowatt is 1000 watts.NoteYou don't consume power; you consume energy which is expressed in kilowatt hours, not kilowatts.
