What is Transformer?
Name one electrical device which works on Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction principle.
For an LCR circuit, the power transferred from the driving source to the driven oscillator is P = I2Z cos φ.
- Here, the power factor cos φ ≥ 0, P ≥ 0.
- The driving force can give no energy to the oscillator (P = 0) in some cases.
- The driving force cannot syphon out (P < 0) the energy out of oscillator.
- The driving force can take away energy out of the oscillator.
