Which type of power in an AC circuit is measured in volt-ampere (
| Which type of power in an AC circuit is measured in volt-ampere (VA)?

A. Apparent power

B. Active power

C. Reactive power

D. Power factor

Please scroll down to see the correct answer and solution guide.

Right Answer is: A

SOLUTION

Apparent power (S) = VI and it is measured in VA

An active power or real power (P) = VI cos ϕ and it is measured in Watts

Reactive power (Q) = VI sin ϕ and it is measured in VAR
