POWER.I WANT CLEAR ANSEWER.

Answer Posted / thilaknpti

Active power is the power work done in the machine.ie P = VI
this is active power. Reactive power is the power that
delivered from the machine that is opposite to the active
power. this is P=VI cos(theta). this is a imaginary power.
this reactive power only created in ac machines. it is the
angle between the voltae and current. it also named as power
factor.
