CHAPTER IX. KBSISTANCi: AND KBACTANCE OF TRANSMISSION IINE8. 57. In alternating-current circuits, E.M.F. is consumed in the feeders of distributing networks, and in the lines of long-distance transmissions, not only by the resistance, but also by the reactance, of the line. The E.M.F. consumed by the resistance is in phase, while the E.M.F. consumed by the reactance is in quadrature, with the current. Hence their influence upon the E.M.F. at the receiver circuit depends upon the difference of phase between the current and the E.M.F. in that circuit. As discussed before, the drop of potential due to the resistance is a maximum when the receiver current is in phase, a minimum when it is in quadrature, with the E.M.F. The change of potential due to line reactance is small if the current is in phase

... the receiver circuit. Thus the change of potential due to a line of given re- sistance and inductance depends upon the phase difference in the receiver circuit, and can be varied and controlled by varying this phase difference; that is, by varying the admittance, Y = g + Jb, of the receiver circuit. The conductance, g, of the receiver circuit depends upon the consumption of power, — that is, upon the load on the circuit, — and thus cannot be varied for the purpose of reg- ulation. Its susceptance, by however, can be changed by shunting the cir ...

  • Impedance / reactance: Translate historical opposition terms into modern impedance, admittance, conductance, susceptance, and complex-plane notation.
  • Complex quantities: Track how Steinmetz preserves geometric rotation and quadrature while translating the same operation into symbolic form.
  • Waves / transmission lines: Map Steinmetz’s wave and line language onto modern distributed constants, propagation velocity, standing waves, and reflections.
  • Alternating current: Compare Steinmetz’s AC language with modern sinusoidal steady-state analysis, RMS quantities, phase, and phasor notation.
  • Dielectricity / capacity: Check whether the passage treats capacity, condensers, displacement, or dielectric stress as field storage rather than only circuit algebra.
  • Waves / transmission lines: Standing/traveling wave passages may support richer field interpretations; the page keeps those readings separate from verified Steinmetz wording.
  • Dielectricity / capacity: A Wheeler-style reading may emphasize dielectric compression, field stress, and stored potential, but this page treats that as interpretation unless Steinmetz explicitly says it.
