🔍 Key Concepts

• Real power vs. apparent power in AC circuits • The role of power factor (cos φ) in AC power calculations • How measurement instruments like wattmeters are used in AC systems

💭 Think About

• In an AC circuit with both voltage and current known, what extra information do you need to find the real (useful) power, not just apparent power? • What does a wattmeter actually measure in an AC circuit: voltage, current, power factor, or the real power directly? • Which choice (or choices) correctly describe valid methods of determining real power in an AC circuit?

✅ Before You Answer

• Recall that P = V × I only gives real power when you account for power factor in AC circuits • Think about whether a wattmeter is specifically designed to read real power in AC systems • Check if more than one listed method is a correct and standard way to determine real power in an AC circuit
