These terms describe the behaviour of energy in alternating-current circuits.
Active power (also known as 'true power' or 'real power') describes the rate at which energy is permanently dissipated by the resistive component of a circuit or load. Active power is measured in watts.
Reactive power describes the rate at which energy is alternately stored in the magnetic or electric field and, then, returned to the source when the field collapses, during every quarter-cycle. Reactive power is measured in reactive volt amperes.
Apparent power is the vector sum of a circuit's active and reactive power, and is measured in volt amperes.
The apparent power of an a.c. load can be determined from the product of a voltmeter and an ammeter reading. The active power can be determined by using a wattmeter. The reactive power can then be determined by vector subtraction.
What else can I help you with?
What element is more active Cs or K?
This question is meaningless without more information. What is meant by 'active'? If you mean reactive, then they are similar, both being alkali metals with 1 valence electron.
What is meant by energy flow?
electricity
Is mount Kenya active?
It is meant to still be active but has not erupted for about 160 years
What limited powers of congress meant it could not deal effectively with?
The limited powers of Congress meant it could not deal effectively with the country's economic problems and trade problems.
What is meant by the term voltage?
It means electricity power

What is meant by expressed national powers? Implied powers? Inherent powers? How have each of these powers contributed to expansion of the national government?
What powers does metroid get?
For 1, Metroids don't have powers other than sucking life. And if you meant to say Samus, her powers vary. Just play the game!!!
What is meant by blending of powers in the constitution?
Blending of powers represents the opposing idea to separation of powers: powers are mixed between two or more of the three branches of government spelt out in the US Constitution.
What is meant by associates?
Associations active in more than one country.
What is meant by self supporting in electronics and communication engineering?
active component
What two powers fought in the Persian war?
Persia and Greece if thats what you meant
What is meant by 'wattless power'?
Since reactive power transfers no net energy to the load, it is sometimes called "wattless" power.
