<previous   BASIC AC THEORY 3   next> INDUCTANCE Any device relying on magnetism or magnetic fields to operate is a form of inductor. Motors, generators, transformers, and coils are inductors. The use of an inductor in a circuit can cause current and voltage to become out-of-phase and inefficient unless corrected.         […]

<previous   BASIC AC THEORY 2   next> AC GENERATION ANALYSIS Analysis of the AC power generation process and of the alternating current we use in almost every aspect of our lives is necessary to better understand how AC power is used in today’s technology.                     […]
