ACTIVE POWER
In dc circuits, for example, the only power relationship you

In ac circuits, you also encounter this type of power. But for ac

1. Introduction
Instantaneous power to a load is p = v i (as voltage and current
reference arrow
Introduction continue
Consider a case of sinusoidal ac.
Since voltage and currents are positive at various times
Introduction continue
At t=0s to t= t1 ,v and i are both positive, therefore power is
positive.
At t= t1 , v=0V, thus p=0W
From t1 to t2 , i is positive and v is negative; therefore, p is
negative and so on.
be the average power to the load. Denote this average by the letter
P.
If P is positive
Then on average, more power flows to the load than is returned from
it.
It represents the power that is really dissipated by the load.
If P is zero
All power sent to the load is returned
negative, power is being returned from the load. (This can only
happen if the load contains reactive elements: L or C.)
The portion of power that flows into the load then back out
is called reactive power. Since it first flows one way then
the other, its average value is zero; thus, reactive power
contributes nothing to the average power to the load.
Although reactive power does no useful work, it cannot
be ignored.

Then P = VI (watts)
P = I2R (watts)
P =V2/R (watts)
Thus the active power relationships for resistive circuits are the same
