Linear Circuits: An Introduction To Linear Electric Circuit Elements and A Study of Circuits Containing Such Devices

This document is a lesson on power factors and power triangles. It begins with an introduction to complex power and then defines key terms like power angle, power factor, real power, and apparent power. The core content uses power triangles to illustrate the relationships between these terms and how to calculate them. It concludes by noting implications like increased power consumption from reactive power and how customers are charged, then previews the next lesson on controlling reactive power and maximum power transfer.
