Frequently asked questions
Power in AC circuits refers to the rate at which energy is used or transferred, commonly measured in watts (W).
There are three types: real power (P), reactive power (Q), and apparent power (S).
Power factor shows how efficiently electrical power is being used. A higher power factor means better efficiency.
Real Power (P) = Voltage × Current × cos(θ), where θ is the phase angle.
