This chapter explores the concept of power in reactive circuits, focusing on scenarios where the phase angle (φ) is small, revealing how average power resembles that of a DC circuit. As φ approaches π/2, the average power drops to nearly zero, highlighting the complexities of instantaneous power, which can even be negative. Key figures illustrate these phenomena, including RLC circuit examples that provide a deeper understanding of reactive power and its implications.
