Apparent Power

What is reactive power measured in?

• Volt-Amps-Reactive (VAR)

• Volt-Amps (VA)

• Watts

• Kilo-Volt-Amps (kVA)

What symbol is used to represent true power?

• Q

• S

• P

• VA

What does apparent power combine?

• Reactive power and True power

• Voltage and Resistance

• Inductive reactance and Capacitive reactance

• Voltage and Current

In what unit is apparent power measured?

• Watts

• Volt-Amps-Reactive (VAR)

• Ohms

• Volt-Amps (VA)

What causes voltage and current to fall out of phase in a circuit?

• Resistance

• Inductive and Capacitive elements

• True power

• Apparent power

In inductive circuits, how does current relate to voltage?

• Current doubles the voltage

• Current and voltage are in phase

• Current lags voltage

• Current leads voltage

What is the purpose of dividing by 1000 when calculating apparent power in kVA?

• To convert from VA to kVA

• To increase accuracy

• To reduce the circuit's complexity

• To adjust for phase angle
