Definitions:

Phase

A term that denotes a specific stage in a cycle of a waveform, especially in the context of alternating current (AC) where it indicates the displacement between waveforms.

Parallel Circuit

A type of electrical circuit in which the components are connected alongside each other, forming branches such that each component has the same voltage.

Resistor Voltage

The voltage drop across a resistor, determined by the current flowing through it and its resistance, according to Ohm's Law.

Power Factor

A measure of how effectively electrical power is converted into useful work output, with a value ranging from 0 to 1, where 1 indicates maximum efficiency.
