🔍 Key Concepts

• Difference between real power (kW), apparent power (kVA), and reactive power (kVAR) in an AC circuit • Meaning of power factor (PF) and how it relates to real and apparent power • How a digital power meter labels each quantity on a W (power) display screen

💭 Think About

• For each choice, decide whether the unit shown measures real power, apparent power, reactive power, or a ratio with no units • Think about the power triangle: which side represents reactive power, and what are its typical units? • Ask yourself which displayed quantity would change mainly with the phase angle between voltage and current rather than with just their magnitudes

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option uses units specifically associated with reactive power in AC systems • Confirm that kW is tied to real (true) power actually doing work, not stored-and-returned energy • Verify that PF is a dimensionless ratio (no power units) and kVA represents apparent power, leaving only one value that matches reactive power
