The conversation between human and AI assistant.
Why do we take a conjugate of current when we write the formula of complex power S=VI*?
Why do we need to separate the real power and reactive power components?
Separating the real power and reactive power components helps us better understand how energy is being used in a circuit. The real power component, also known as active power, represents the part of power that is actually doing useful work, such as powering lights or running motors. The reactive power component represents the part of power that is being stored and released by inductors and capacitors in the circuit.
