Instantaneous Power Note twice the frequency
Average Power Purely resistive circuit Purely reactive circuit
Effective or RMS Values We define the effective or rms value of a periodic current (voltage) source to be the dc current (voltage) that delivers the same average power to a resistor. root-mean-square
Effective or RMS Values Using and
Recall Average Power Power Factor Power factor Power factor angle Note that Thus, an industrial load that consumes P watts with a high PF from a V rms volt line will have lower line losses.
Complex Power Real, average power Imaginary, quadrature power
