Apparent Power
The total power in an AC circuit, both used and unused, measured in Volt-Amperes (VA) and combining both active and reactive power components.
Parallel Circuit
A circuit in which components are connected across common points or junctions, providing multiple paths for current.
Inductive Reactance
The opposition to the change in current flow in an AC circuit, caused by the inductance of the circuit elements.
- Compute the apparent power within parallel alternating current circuits and distinguish it from both real and reactive power.
