Electrical Design -⚡ Understanding Active Power vs. Apparent Power (Made Simple)
Electrical power isn’t always straightforward — not all the electricity you draw is actually used to do work . Let’s break it down 👇 🔹 Active Power (P) – The Useful Power This is the real, usable power that does actual work — like heating, lighting, or running a motor. Unit: Watts (W) Formula: P = V × I × cosφ Example 1: 💡 A 100W light bulb uses 100W of active power .All the power is converted into light and heat — simple and efficient. Example 2: 🌀 A 2kW electric hea
