1. Basics of Electrostatics
2. Laws of Electrostatics
3. What is a capacitor ?
5. Power factor
Branch of physics that deals with forces exerted by static electric field upon
charged objects
ε0 = Vacuum permittivity
It is expressed as F = k*Q1*Q2
d²
Electric charge:
One Coulomb of charge is defined as quantity of electricity which when
placed in vacuum from an equal and similar charge repels it with a force of
9x109 N
What is a capacitor ?
Two conducting surfaces called
electrodes separated by a layer of
an insulating medium called dielectric
Reactive power is nothing but the product of voltage and the reactive
component of the current.
REACTIVE POWER FUNDAMENTALS
• Transformer
• Heavily loaded transmission line
• Induction motor
• Under excited synchronous machine
This results in lagging power factor
• Shunt Capacitor
• Lightly loaded transmission line/cable
• Over excited synchronous machine
