Reactive Power

Reactive Power and The Power Triangle: We know that the average power dissipated is From the impedance triangle shown in Fig. 6.4 If we substitute Eqs (6.12) and (6.13) in Eq. (6.11), we get This…

Apparent Power

Apparent Power and Power Factor: Apparent Power - The power factor is useful in determining useful power (true power) transferred to a load. The highest power factor is 1, which indicates that the current to…

Instantaneous Power Formula

Instantaneous Power Formula: Instantaneous Power Formula - In a purely resistive circuit, all the energy delivered by the source is dissipated in the form of heat by the resistance. In a purely reactive (inductive or…
