RLC Series Circuit

A circuit consisting of a resistor (R), inductor (L), and capacitor (C) connected in series, affecting the impedance and phase of the circuit.

Power Factor

A measure of how effectively electrical power is converted into useful work output, expressed as the ratio of real power flowing to the load to the apparent power in the circuit.
