This video is a simple explanation of Power in AC systems. Why are there 3 different types of power? We use an intuitive approach to try to understand what Real, Reactive and Apparent power actually are. We first look at their fundamental mechanisms in isolation first for real power, then for reactive power. After this, we define Power Factor. With this intuition, it is easier to understand the true nature of power.
