Any write has resistance and electrical energy is converted to heat and magnetism over any distance, but when the distance gets very long this energy loss becomes significant.I actually think that AC looses less energy than does DC, which is why they use AC in the power grid, why I don't really know. I suspect the answer is found in the frequency of the phase shifting, maybe it synchronizes with the metal wire it is conducted through and some kind of resistance lowering resonance arises. That is really just a guess. In standig wave theory some frequencies are transmitted better
(less loss of F signal(t) dt = (do math) = energy received by wave at meassuring station, divide that with the same calculation at the source and you have the transmittance efficiency, siganl(t) expresses voltage (ampltude)
at a point in time) in certain types of confinements, which is why the frequencies change in accustic instruments. Maybe something similar is happening with AC. Of course one could do the QM math and provide a real answer, but I am not going to work hard for this :)
noAnswer'Power factor' is a quantity associated with alternating-current systems, and does not apply to direct-current systems'.
A: Alternating voltages means the phase factor must be considered.
Power Factor is a technical term that relates the phase of the alternating current to the phase of the alternating voltage.I do not think that this really applies well to inverters.Perhaps, you are looking for efficiency.Output power divided by input power all multiplied by 100 will give the percentage of efficiency. It will always be less than 100%.The closer to 100%; the better the efficiency.(Pout/Pin)X 100.Power is the current times the voltage.
It is the 'scale factor'
It depends on how the capacitor is connected and whether the supply voltage is a.c. or d.c. Assuming you are talking about a power-factor improvement capacitor (connected in parallel with an inductive load, supplied with a.c.), then the supply current will reduce.
When power factor is at unity, the voltage and current waves are aligned or in phase with one another. Since power is the product of voltage and current, power transfer is maximized at unity power factor. When power is transmitted at a lower power factor, greater current is required to deliver the same amount of power. When current is increased, the size of the transmission, distribution and generation systems, all have to be increased accordingly, along with the price of the killowatt-hour at the meter.
The power factor depends on the phase angle between the voltage and current on a conductor. The amplitude of the current has no effect on it.
The "produced energy" would most likely be transmitted in the form of an electrical current; you can use standard equipment to measure that. If you manage to measure the voltage, the current, and the power factor, you can multiply everything together to get the power; multiply power by time, and you get energy.
Form factor of an alternating current waveform (signal) is the ratio of the RMS (Root Mean Square) value to the Absolute Average Value (also referred to as the Practical Average Value) of the waveform.In the case of a sinusoidal wave ie., an analogue wave, the form factor is approximately 1.11.In the case of a square wave ie., a digital wave, the RMS and the average values are equal; therefore, the form factor is 1.
The time taken to reach a certain destination may be one of the factors used in judging distances accurately for some people. The speed taken to reach a destination is another factor.
Power Factor applies to all A.C.(alternating current) power supplies. It ma not be apparent when a purely resistive load is applied as this offers a PF of 1.0 but any other load type will have a power factor somewhere between 0.0 and 1.0.
