      Real power, apparent power, and power factor are important concepts in electrical engineering that describe different aspects of power in an electrical system:

      1. Real Power (P):
        Real power, also known as active power, is the actual power consumed by a load to perform useful work. It is measured in watts (W) and represents the energy transfer or conversion rate in an electrical circuit. Real power is responsible for performing tasks such as heating, lighting, or mechanical work in electrical devices. It is represented mathematically by the product of voltage (V) and current (I) in a circuit, multiplied by the cosine of the phase angle (θ) between voltage and current:

        [ P = V \times I \times \cos(\theta) ]

      2. Apparent Power (S):
        Apparent power is the total power supplied to a circuit, including both real power and reactive power. It is measured in volt-amperes (VA) and represents the magnitude of the complex power in an AC circuit. Apparent power is the vector sum of real power and reactive power and is calculated as the product of voltage (V) and current (I) in a circuit, without considering the phase angle between them:

        [ S = V \times I ]

      3. Power Factor (PF):
        Power factor is a dimensionless quantity that indicates the efficiency of electrical power utilization in a circuit. It is the ratio of real power to apparent power and ranges from 0 to 1 (or 0% to 100%). A higher power factor indicates a more efficient utilization of electrical power, while a lower power factor suggests a higher proportion of reactive power in the system. Power factor is calculated as the cosine of the phase angle (θ) between voltage and current:

        [ PF = \frac{P}{S} = \cos(\theta) ]

        Power factor correction techniques are often employed to improve power factor and optimize energy efficiency in electrical systems, reducing losses and improving voltage stability.
