Passive, linear network

Instantaneous power absorbed by the network is, p =v(t).i(t)

Let v(t) = Vm cos (t + v) and i(t) = Imcos(t + i)

Which can be written as

v(t) = Vm cos (t + v i) and i(t) = Imcos(t)

v(t) = Vm cos (t + v i) and i(t) = Imcos(t)

p = Vm cos(t + v – i ) . Im cos(t)

• Useful power – also known as ACTIVE POWER

• Converted to other useful form of energy – heat, light, sound, etc

• Power charged by TNB

• Power that is being transferred back and forth between load and source

• Associated with L or C – energy storage element – no losses

• Is not charged by TNB

• Inductive load: Q positive, Capacitive load: Q negative
