In a purely resistive circuit, power is dissipated by the resistor. In a purely reactive circuit, no circuit power is…
Power dissipated by a load is referred to as true power. Power triangle relating appearant power to true power and reactive…
The ratio between true power and apparent power is called the power factor of a AC circuit.
You may be fortunate enough to have an instrument called a power factor meter to tell you what will be the practical…
