Essay on Troubles of Electrical Engineers with Physics
Esej o kłopotach elektryków z fizyką
Leszek S. CZARNECKI
Abstract
This Essay shows that, although electrical engineering has emanated from physics, nonetheless it is sometimes with this physics in conflict. Some properties of electrical circuits are from the physics perspective erroneously interpreted or thought that some objects exist physically. It refers to some electrical powers and harmonic components. There are even some alleged physical phenomena. This conflict of electrical engineering with physics is subjective, however, an electrical engineer can understand and interpret physical properties of electrical circuits in his own way
Streszczenie
Ten esej pokazuje, że jakkolwiek elektrotechnika jest technologicznie zorientowaną emanacją fizyki, to pozostaje niekiedy z tą fizyką w konflikcie. Pewne właściwości obwodów elektrycznych bywają z perspektywy fizyki błędnie interpretowane lub też pewnym obiektom przypisuje się istnienie fizyczne. Dotyczy to pewnych mocy elektrycznych oraz składowych harmonicznych. W przekonaniu pewnych elektryków istnieją nawet zjawiska fizyczne, które w istocie są jedynie domniemane. Ten konflikt elektrotechniki z fizyką ma oczywiście charakter subiektywny, każdy elektryk może rozumieć fizyczne cechy obwodu w sposób odmienny.
Keywords
physical properties, conflict, physical phenomena, harmonic components
Słowa kluczowe
