what is reactive power?, why its measured in VA ? is it transient behavior of system?..

Answer / Sundar

Reactive Power (Q) is a measure of the energy exchange between the capacitor and inductor in an AC circuit. It does not produce any real work, but instead, it stores and releases energy back and forth.nnIt is measured in Volt-Amperes (VA). This is because reactive power has both voltage and current components.nnNo, reactive power is not a transient behavior of the system. It is a steady-state condition and can be calculated by multiplying the current leading or lagging from the voltage phase angle.
