"Magnitude" means how strong it is - how much voltage (how many volts), or how much current (how many amperes).
Voltage = (current) x (resistance) Current = (voltage)/(resistance) Resistance = (voltage)/(current)
Capacitors resist a change in voltage. It takes current to effect a voltage change, resulting in the current "leading" the voltage. Similarly, inductors resist a change in current. It takes voltage to effect a current change, resulting in the current "lagging" the voltage.
"Vector" is a description of magnitude and direction, and can apply to any quantity that has magnitude and direction, such as an aircraft's flight path. "Phasor" is a vector as used in alternating current electrical/electronic circuits. Calculations are the same as for general-purpose vector math, but the quantities are typically phase angle, voltage, voltage, current, resistance, reactance and impedance. Some calculations will use conductance, admittance and susceptance.
the formula for electric current is VI ,where v is voltage then I is the current. the unit used for current is ampere and volts for voltage. multiply the total I to the Voltage The formular of electric current is given by I=V/R ,I=P/V
a. the current and voltage in phase
It is nothing but how much current or voltage taken in the circuit. It is known as Magnitude.
When an element polarity of voltage or current source changes, the magnitude of the corresponding current or voltage changes is called unilateral element. Eg: Diode Even Diode connected back to back in parallel act as a Bilateral.
There is no difference of magnitude to be considered the end product is the same.
It is impossible to separate the two. The voltage determines the magnitude of the current, and the current causes the damage. So, they are both responsible for electric shock.
No. A constant DC current of sufficient magnitude induces smoke in a transformer.
The difference between a current control device and voltage controlled device is that for current controlled device, the current is constant and the voltage is variable while for a voltage controlled device, the voltage is constant and the current is variable.
when the magnitude of voltage of a source is controlled by another small voltage source in the circuit the former is called voltage controlled voltage source and the later is called controller voltage source.
The power is the product between the magnitude of voltage and the magnitude of current. Whereas the power factor is a ratio between the active power and the apparent power.
In the case of AC, you can express the current, the voltage and the equivalent to the resistance (called "impedance" in this case) as a vector - with a magnitude, and a phase angle.
The strength of the electromagnet depends on the magnitude of the current in the coil around it.The voltage required is only what produces the desired current in the coil. Since the coil is nothing butwire, the resistance is quite low, and a relatively small voltage produces a relatively large current.
Leading and lagging currents are not so much "currents" as they are "situations" or "conditions" in an electrical circuit. Reactive characteristics, if there are any, will not let voltage and current be in phase in a circuit. (Unless they are equal, and this will be true at only one frequency.) In some circuits, current leads voltage (or voltage lags current), and in other circuits, current lags voltage (voltage leads current), depending on the circuit and also on the frequency of the applied signal. In a capacitor, current leads voltage, and in an inductor, current lags voltage. This carries over to circuits that exhibit primarily capacitive or inductive characteristics. Additionally, reactance varies with frequency. As a given circuit with inductance and capacitance is evaluated, at some frequencies, it will appear capacitive, and current will lead voltage. At other frequencies, the circuit will appear inductive, and current will lag voltage. Only at a frequency where the reactances are equal will the current and voltage be in phase. The ideas here are best reviewed after achieving an understanding of the nature of inductance and capacitance, the associated reactances, and the way frequency affects these characteristics.
Transformer rating is based on the maximum temperature a transformer can run at. This temperature is dictated by the amount of current flowing through the transformer windings. This is why transformers are rated in KVA (voltage * current), not kW - it doesn't matter what the phase relationship is between voltage and current, just the magnitude of the current.
