Electric-Power-Part-2

Last time, we went over some basics concerning electric power. Things like power vs energy, the generalized power law (power at DC and resistive AC circuits), and an intro to reactive power appear in the previous post.

If you missed it, please read it before you read this one. Here it is: One Powerful Post: A Primer on Electric Power Part 1.

Let’s kick things off by going over some electric power related terms and concepts dealing with reactive circuits.

For now, we won’t really differentiate between reactive circuits that are primarily inductive (RL), capacitive (RC) or both (RLC). We’ll delve into more detail on that stuff in another post.
