Definitions:

Apparent Power

The total power within an electrical circuit, represented in VA (volt-amperes), which combines both real power and reactive power.

RL Circuit

An electrical circuit composed of a resistor (R) and an inductor (L) connected together, used to study the behavior of circuits with resistance and inductive reactance.

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.
