Definitions:

Power Values

Quantitative measurements of energy consumption or generation in a system, typically expressed in watts (W) or a derivative unit.

Total Resistance

The overall resistance faced by the current in a circuit, which determines the amount of current flow for a given voltage.

Series RL Circuit

A circuit consisting of a resistor (R) and an inductor (L) connected in series, which opposes the flow of AC current due to its inductance.

Series RL Circuit

An electrical circuit consisting of a resistor (R) and an inductor (L) connected in series, displaying characteristics dependent on the combined effects of resistance and inductive reactance.
