Reactive power Definition and 55 Threads

Hello, i am trying to understand the concept of active /reactive /complex power and am having some trouble understanding how the reactive powere 'oscillates back and forth between inductor and source'. Ok, let's say i have a pure inductive load, i know that the power consumed is 0, and i...

Hi, Can someone please explain to me how you can get higher RMS voltage ratings across components than the supply voltage and how VAR ratings can become huge? Indeed what really is reactive power? I've been introduced to it for years but have never fully understood it and I could do with...

My professor made this statement: "the power dissipated by an inductor will always be purely reactive and represented at 90 degrees" (we label real power as a phasor at 0 degrees, inductive reactive power at 90 degrees and capacitive at -90) Why is this? I made a little example with a...

if some one could help me understand the difference between the math used to find the reactive powers voltamps and reactances ohms

what's the difference between true power and reactive power? I'm confused at these 2 terms...
