KENNELLY 147 involves s2 is composed of the smallest subgroup of G which gives rise to a quotient group which is either dihedral or generalized dihedral. Hence it follows that the concepts of inverse commutator subgroup and special inverse commutator subgroup enable us to unify a number of fundamental theorems of groups of finite order. This unification is the main object of the present note. While the identity automorphism gives rise only to the identity commutator it gives rise to the squares of all the operators of the group as inverse commutators. 1 G. A. Miller, Trans. Am. Math. Soc., 10, 472 (1909). THE CONVENTION OF EQUIDIMENSIONAL ELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC UNITS By ARTHUR E. KENNELLY HARVARD UNIVERSITY AND MASS. INST. OF TECHNOLOGY Communicated February 4, 1931 It is the object of this paper to present a set of electromagnetic unit dimensions, common to both electric and magnetic systems, based on the conventional hypothesis that the dimensions of permittivity Ko and per- meability guo for free space are the same. It was announced by Maxwell in 1881 in his Treatise,' Vol. 2, Chap. X, that "every electromagnetic quantity may be defined with reference to the fundamental units of Length, Mass, and Time." He formulated the "dimensions" of each quantity, such as Resistance, Current, Capacitance, etc., in terms of the fundamental quantities of dynamics-L, M, and T. Thus with any velocity V, defined as a ratio LIT, the dimensions of velocity would be L1, MO, T-', or giving only the exponents, as (1, 0, - 1). Similarly, the ordinary dynamic formulas of energy W, and of power P, being respectively MV2/2 and WIT, their exponential dimen- sional formulas would be (2, 1, -2) and (2, 1, -3). Maxwell also showed that there were always two different dimensional formulas for each electromagnetic quantity: namely, one in the electric (electrostatic) system, and one in the magnetic (electromagnetic) system. The electric units were derived from the force of repulsion between like electric charges across a known distance, assuming that the permittivity Ko of free space is the numeric unity. The magnetic units were, however, derived from the force of repulsion between like magnetic poles across a known distance, assuming that the permeability go of free space is the numeric unity. The accompanying table 1 is based on Maxwell's list of dimensions for Downloaded by guest on October 1, 2021 148 ENGINEERING: A. E. KENNELLY PROC. N. A. S. the electric and magnetic units. Column II names the quantities con- sidered, III gives the customary distinguishing symbol, IV, V and VI the dimensions of the quantity in the magnetic system; while VIII, IX and X give them in the electrostatic system. To take a simple ex- ample, No. 9 in the list, Resistance R, has dimensions L1, MO, T-1, or those of velocity V = L/T in the magnetic system; but has L-1, MO, TP, or those of inverse velocity V-1 = T/L, or slowness, in the electric system. 4 Maxwell's findings in these matters, as repeated in Columns IV, V, VI, and VIII, IX, X, have never been disputed, taking into account the postulates he assumed. On the other hand, they have never been re- garded as self-explanatory, except perhaps, Electric Capacitance, No. 6, and Magnetic Inductance, No. 18, each of which appears with the di- mensions of a simple Length, and for each of which a physical realization has been suggested by several writers. It wa's pointed out by Rucker2 in 1889, that Maxwell's list of unit dimensions was necessarily incomplete; because the constants of free space (permittivity KO and permeability iuo) are involved in the action of the observed forces between electric charges or magnetic poles. These space constants are suppressed in Maxwell's lists, and yet they must be assumed to have dimensions of some sort. Indeed, Maxwell showed in his Treatise,' Chap. XX, that VZO-I.&O= vI (1) where v is the velocity of electromagnetic propagation, or approximately 300,000 km. per second. Rucker introduced these unresolved space constants, with their appropriate exponents, into Maxwell's dimensional formulas, as indicated in Columns VII and XI of Table 1. Thus Re- sistance R (No. 9) has revised Maxwell-Rucker dimensions of DA = LI, MO, T-1, ,U1 in the magnetic system and DK = L-1, MO, T, K-1, in the electric system. These Maxwell-Rucker dimensions, as repeated in Table 1, under D,. and DA, have been recognized since 1889, and are quoted in various text-books and handbooksA'456. From Maxwell's equation (1), we have: Koo=go (2) or the product of the two space constants is the inverse square of the propagation velocity. This equation admits, of course, of an infinite number of physical and dimensional solutions for KO and uo, separately. In the electric system of units, KO is taken as unity and Ao as 1/v2; whereas in the magnetic system, uo is taken as unity and KO as 1/v2.

E. KENNELL Y PROC. N A. S. Although several different suggestions have been made at different times, for the solution of Maxwell's equation (1), based on physical possi- bilities; yet, setting physical considerations aside, the simplest solution is evidently Ko = guo = 1/v, or L-1, MO, T'. That suggestion has been made;7 but so far as the writer is aware, without pointing out the results of this convention upon the series of electric and magnetic unit dimensions, such as those in table 1. If we divide D, by DK, as in Columns XII, XIII and XIV, we obtain a series which shows that not only are these ratios all dimensionless, since (#K) = L-2T2; but also that on the equi- dimensional convention, D,, = DK, or the two series D. and D. of electric and magnetic dimensions, each of four elements (L, M, T and KO or L, M, T and ,uo) coalesce into a single three-element series (L, M, T) of the Maxwellian type. Thus the equidimensional convention for Ko and ,uo leads to an equidimensional series for all the existing units. Moreover, it seems that the equidimensional solution of the Maxwell equation (1) is the only one which yields equidimensional electric and magnetic series in table 1. Table 2 shows, in somewhat rearranged form, the single series of di- mensions for both electric and magnetic units belonging to any of the recognized systems (C. G. S., and Practical) as obtained from table 1, when ,Ao and KO are replaced by L-'T', the dimensions for the propagation slowness of approximately 1/(3 X 108) seconds per meter. Columns I and XV contain the successive entry numbers, with their dimensions in VII, VIII, and IX. Columns II and XIV give characteristic or descrip- tive dimensions. Columns III and V give the electrokinetic and electro- static quantities defined. Their ordinary symbols appear in IV and VI. Columns XI and XIII likewise give the magnetostatic and magnetokinetic quantities. The former pertain to the ordinary steady magnetic circuit, and the latter to the alternating magnetic circuit. (1) El. Energy EQ, and Mag. Energy Fb have (2, 1,-2), in common with dynamic energy W. (2) El. Power E2G, EI, or F2R, and Mag. Power F dt have (2, 1, -3), dt in common with dynamic power P = WIT. (3) El. Permittivity K and Mag. Permeability ,u have, by assumption, the slowness dimensions (-1, 0, 1). (4) Elastivity 1/1 and Reluctivity v = l/,u have, by the same as- sumption, the velocity dimensions (1, 0, -1). (5) Both Electric and Magnetic Motive Forces, E, F, and- potentials V, as well as their currents I, Q and -D, have (1, 1/2, -3/2), the di- mensions of root power /P. dt dt (6) Elastance S and Reluctance R have (0, 0, - 1), of inverse time.

To improve the sine of the air-gap flux density and flux regulation capacity of drive motors, a new hybrid excitation synchronous motor (HESM) has been proposed. The HESM adopts a salient pole rotor with built-in dual-V permanent magnets (PMs), non-arc pole shoes and excitation windings. The fundamental topology, operating principle and analytical model for a magnetic field are presented. In the analytical model, the rotor magnetomotive force (MMF) is derived based on the minimum reluctance principle, and the permeance function considering a non-uniform air-gap is calculated using the magnetic equivalent circuit (MEC) method. Besides, the electromagnetic performance including the air-gap magnetic field and flux regulation capacity is analyzed by the finite element method (FEM). The simulation results of the air-gap magnetic field are consistent with the analytical results. The experiment and simulation results of the performance show that the flux waveform is sinusoidal-shaped and the air-gap flux can be adjusted effectively by changing the excitation current.

  • Although Topology Was Recognized by Gauss and Maxwell to Play a Pivotal Role in the Formulation of Electromagnetic Boundary Valu
    Although topology was recognized by Gauss and Maxwell to play a pivotal role in the formulation of electromagnetic boundary value problems, it is a largely unexploited tool for field computation. The development of algebraic topology since Maxwell provides a framework for linking data structures, algorithms, and computation to topological aspects of three-dimensional electromagnetic boundary value problems. This book attempts to expose the link between Maxwell and a modern approach to algorithms. The first chapters lay out the relevant facts about homology and coho- mology, stressing their interpretations in electromagnetism. These topological structures are subsequently tied to variational formulations in electromagnet- ics, the finite element method, algorithms, and certain aspects of numerical linear algebra. A recurring theme is the formulation of and algorithms for the problem of making branch cuts for computing magnetic scalar potentials and eddy currents. An appendix bridges the gap between the material presented and standard expositions of differential forms, Hodge decompositions, and tools for realizing representatives of homology classes as embedded manifolds.

Although ontologies for biological entities—molecules, cells, organs—are well-established, there are no principled ontologies of physical properties—energies, volumes, flow rates—of those entities. In this paper, we introduce the Ontology of Physics for Biology (OPB), a reference ontology of classical physics designed for annotating biophysical content of growing repositories of biomedical datasets and analytical models. The OPB’s semantic framework, traceable to James Clerk Maxwell, encompasses modern theories of system dynamics and thermodynamics, and is implemented as a computational ontology that references available upper ontologies. In this paper we focus on the OPB classes that are designed for annotating physical properties encoded in biomedical datasets and computational models, and we discuss how the OPB framework will facilitate biomedical knowledge integration.

  • 6.685 Electric Machines, Course Notes 2: Magnetic Circuit Basics
    Massachusetts Institute of Technology Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science 6.685 Electric Machines Class Notes 2 Magnetic Circuit Basics c 2003 James L. Kirtley Jr. 1 Introduction Magnetic Circuits offer, as do electric circuits, a way of simplifying the analysis of magnetic field systems which can be represented as having a collection of discrete elements. In electric circuits the elements are sources, resistors and so forth which are represented as having discrete currents and voltages. These elements are connected together with ‘wires’ and their behavior is described by network constraints (Kirkhoff’s voltage and current laws) and by constitutive relationships such as Ohm’s Law. In magnetic circuits the lumped parameters are called ‘Reluctances’ (the inverse of ‘Reluctance’ is called ‘Permeance’). The analog to a ‘wire’ is referred to as a high permeance magnetic circuit element. Of course high permeability is the analog of high conductivity. By organizing magnetic field systems into lumped parameter elements and using network con- straints and constitutive relationships we can simplify the analysis of such systems. 2 Electric Circuits First, let us review how Electric Circuits are defined. We start with two conservation laws: conser- vation of charge and Faraday’s Law. From these we can, with appropriate simplifying assumptions, derive the two fundamental circiut constraints embodied in Kirkhoff’s laws. 2.1 KCL Conservation of charge could be written in integral form as: dρ J~ · ~nda + f dv = 0 (1) ZZ Zvolume dt This simply states that the sum of current out of some volume of space and rate of change of free charge in that space must be zero.

  • Voltage Transients in the Field Winding of Salient Pole Wound Synchronous Machines Implications from Fast Switching Power Electronics
    Voltage Transients in the Field Winding of Salient Pole Wound Synchronous Machines Implications from fast switching power electronics Roberto Felicetti Licentiate thesis to be presented at Uppsala University, Häggsalen 10132, Ångströmlaboratoriet, Lägerhyddsvägen 1, Uppsala, Friday, 12 March 2021 at 10:00. The examination will be conducted in English. Abstract Felicetti, R. 2021: Voltage Transients in the Field Winding of Salient Pole Wound Synchro- nous Machines: Implications from fast switching power electronics. 91 pp. Uppsala. Wound Field Synchronous Generators provide more than 95% of the electricity need world- wide. Their primacy in electricity production is due to ease of voltage regulation, performed by simply adjusting the direct current intensity in their rotor winding. Nevertheless, the rapid progress of power electronics devices enables new possibilities for alternating current add-ins in a more than a century long DC dominated technology. Damping the rotor oscillations with less energy loss than before, reducing the wear of the bearings by actively compensating for the mechanic unbalance of the rotating parts, speeding up the generator with no need for additional means, these are just few of the new applications which imply partial or total alter- nated current supplying of the rotor winding. This thesis explores what happens in a winding traditionally designed for the direct current supply when an alternated current is injected into it by an inverter. The research focuses on wound field salient pole synchronous machines and investigates the changes in the field wind- ing parameters under AC conditions. Particular attention is dedicated to the potentially harm- ful voltage surges and voltage gradients triggered by voltage-edges with large slew rate.

Lesieutre Professor and Head, Aerospace Engineering Mary Frecker Professor, Mechanical & Nuclear Engineering John Mitchell Professor, Electrical Engineering Jim Breakall Professor, Electrical Engineering W. Kenneth Jenkins Professor, Electrical Engineering Head of the Department of Electrical Engineering *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT In this thesis, ways to improve the power conversion of rotating generators at low rotor speeds in energy harvesting applications were investigated. One method is to increase the pole count, which increases the generator back-emf without also increasing the I2R losses, thereby increasing both torque density and conversion efficiency. One machine topology that has a high effective pole count is a hybrid “stepper” machine. However, the large self inductance of these machines decreases their power factor and hence the maximum power that can be delivered to a load. This effect can be cancelled by the addition of capacitors in series with the stepper windings. A circuit was designed and implemented to automatically vary the series capacitance over the entire speed range investigated. The addition of the series capacitors improved the power output of the stepper machine by up to 700%.

  • On Electrostatic Transformers and Coupling Coefficients.1
    On Electrostatic Transformers and Coupling Coefficients.1 BY F. C. BLAKE Physical Laboratory, The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio. Starting from the experimentally determined fact that the capacity of an air condenser is independent of the fre­ quency of electrical oscillation, it is shown by means of Lord Rayleigh's equations for the mutual reaction between two circuits each having inductance, resistance, and capacity, that for high-frequency conditions when the resistance is negligible compared to the reactance, the capacity reaction between the two circuits can be expressed best in terms of elast- ances. Definitions are given for self and mutual elastances as well as for self and mutual capacitances and the definitions are tested by our knowledge of spherical condensers. The coefficient of elastic coupling is shown to be the ratio between the mutual elastance and the square root of the product of the two self elastances, the analogy with the coefficient of inductive coupling being exact. The coefficient of capacitive coupling between two circuits each having capacity with a capacity in the branch common to both is shown to be a limiting case of the coefficient of elastic coupling, and thereby a condenser of the ordinary or close form is shown to be an electrostatic transformer with a coupling coefficient of unity. The true relationship between Maxwell's coefficients of capacity and the elastances or capacitances is pointed out in the case of the spherical condenser. The ideas developed are applied to the thermionic tube and thereby the behavior of the ultraudion and the experiments of Van der Pol are readily explained.
