Key Points
In resistive circuits the average power is equal to VI, where
V and I are r.m.s. values
In a capacitor the current leads the voltage by 90 and the
average power is zero
In an inductor the current lags the voltage by 90 and the
average power is zero
In circuits with both resistive and reactive elements, the
average power is VI cos
The term cos is called the power factor
Power factor correction is important in high-power systems
High-power systems often use three-phase arrangements
