Definition of Power FactorThe power factor is equal to the real or true power P in watts (W) divided by the apparent power |S| in volt-ampere (VA):
PF = P(W) / |S(VA)|
PF - power factor.
P - the real power in watts (W).
|S| - apparent power - the magnitude of the complex power in volt·amps (VA).
Power factor calculations
For sinusoidal current, the p...
Definition of ElectricityThe electric power P is equal to the energy consumption E divided by the consumption time t:
P is the electric power in watts (W).
E is the energy consumption in joule (J).
t is the time in seconds (s).Example
Find the electric power of an electrical circuit that consumes 120 joules for 20 seconds.
Solution:
E = 120J
t...
