Reactance
Reactance is a property of a component that opposes a
change in current.
It is a property of capacitor or inductor.
For a capacitor, current will lead the voltage by 900 and
for an inductor, voltage will lead the current by 900.
Impedance
Impedance encompasses not only resistance but also
reactance.
In cartesian form, impedance is defiend as
Z=R+jX
Where the real part of impedance is the resistance (R) and
the imaginary part is the reactance (X).
Power
Active Power:
It is the power which is actually dissipated in the circuit
resistance.
P=VIcosθ
Unit:Watt
Power
Reactive Power:
Reactive power represents that the energy is first stored and
released in the form of magnetic field in case of inductor and
capacitor respectively.
Q=VIsinθ
Unit: Volt-Ampare reactive (VAR)
The reactive power results in no net transfer of energy but instead
oscillates between the source and load in each cycle due to
stored energy.
Power
Apparent power:
In an AC circuit, the product of the rms voltage and the rms
current is called apparent power.
When the impedance is a pure resistance, the apparent power
is the same as the true power.
But when reactance exists, the apparent power is greater than
the active power.
𝑠 = 𝑃2 + 𝑄 2
𝑠= (𝑉𝐼𝑐𝑜𝑠θ)2 +(𝑉𝐼𝑠𝑖𝑛θ)2
𝑠 = 𝑉𝐼 𝑐𝑜𝑠θ2 + 𝑠𝑖𝑛θ2
𝑠 = 𝑉𝐼
Power
An active element is capable of generating energy while a
passive element is not.
Examples of passive elements are resistors, capacitors, and
inductors.
Typical active elements include generators, batteries, and
operational amplifiers.
An ideal independent source is an active element that provides
a specified voltage or current that is completely independent of
other circuit elements.

In any electrical network, the algebraic sum of the
currents meeting at a point is zero.

The algebraic sum of the products of currents and
resistances in each of the conductors in any closed path
in a network plus the algebraic sum of the e.m.fs. in that
path is zero.
