What is 3.00 x 10^8 (m/s)?
300
a common method of alternating-current electric power generation, transmission, and distribution. It is used in our electrical grid.
What is a three-phase system?
300
a passive two-terminal electrical component, usually a coil, which resists changes in electric current passing through it.

What is brown, black, red?
300
At any node (junction) in an electrical circuit, the sum of currents flowing into that node is equal to the sum of currents flowing out of that node
or equivalently
What is Kirchhoff's current law (KCL)?
400
An electrical device that transfers electrical energy between two or more circuits through electromagnetic induction. Hint: They are found on street poles.
