Power in an electric, AC circuit is the product of Volts, Amps, and the Cosine of the angle that separates them. When the Amps lag behind the Volts by 60 degrees, the product of Volts, Amps, and the Cosine of the angle between them provides half the power that would otherwise be available without the 60 degree angle. At 60 degrees, the cosine is 0.5 and at 90 degrees it is zero. So the product of Volts and Amps whenever they are 90 degrees out of phase will result in zero power.
Power factor is the cosine of the phase angle between voltage and current. In a resistive load, current is in phase, i.e. with a phase angle of 0 degrees, with respect to voltage. Cosine (0) is 1.
The angle by which a circuit's current leads or lags its supply voltage.
For capacitive reactance, current leads voltage. In an "ideal" circut, the leading phase angle would be 90 degrees, but this does not happen in practice due to resistance. For inductive reactance, current lags voltage. In an "ideal" circut, the lagging phase angle would be 90 degrees, but this does not happen in practice due to resistance.
The voltage and current sine waves cross the zero line at the same time and going in the same direction. The phase angle is 0°. They are said to be in-phase.

the degree of a right angle will always be 90 degrees.
It's a 50 degree angle. It's an angle that measures 50 degrees. It's the complementary angle of a 40 degree angle.
A 40 degree angle is the COMPLEMENT of a 50 degree angle.
The complement of a 27-degree angle is the angle that, when added to the original angle, equals 90 degrees. Therefore, the complement of a 27-degree angle would be 63 degrees.
An oblique angle is any angle not 90 degrees or a multiple of 90 degrees. So 45 degrees is an oblique angle. A 45 degree angle is also an acute angle (anything less than 90 degrees).
90 degrees
A 90-degree angle is a right angle.
As the angle is between 90 degrees and 180 degrees, it an obtuse angle.
A right angle is 90 degrees.
The complement of an angle is equal to 90 degrees minus the measure of the angle. Therefore, the complement of a 72 degree angle would be 90 degrees - 72 degrees, which equals 18 degrees.
An angle of 213 degrees is a reflex angle
