312-08 Inductance, Capacitance, Phase, and Power Angles EPP (1 CEH)
Learning objectives
- Differentiate between inductance and capacitance
- Given the formula q=VC, calculate positive charge being transferred
- Given a set of data, identify the components of initial inductive and capacitive currents of a circuit
- Differentiate between current leading and lagging voltage
- Identify the difference between real (active) and reactive power
Course overview
Inductors and capacitors are important circuit elements. An inductor opposes any change in current through it. A capacitor opposes any change in voltage across it. Phase angles are also important elements. They show a phase shift as inductance and capacitance impact whether current waves lead or lag voltage waves. Understanding how these elements affect the flow of electricity is important for workers responsible for system reliability. The Inductance, Capacitance, and Phase and Power Angles training course differentiates between inductance and capacitance. It explains the difference between current leading and lagging voltage. It also explains the difference between real (active) and reactive power. This course is part of the Electric Power Principles training series.
