Definitions:

Angle Theta

A symbol commonly used in trigonometry and physics to denote a certain angle, often in relation to circular motion or rotational phenomena.

Series RL Circuit

An electrical circuit composed of resistors (R) and inductors (L) connected in series, influencing the circuit's impedance and phase angle.

Inductive Reactance

Inductive reactance is the opposition that an inductor presents to alternating current, depending on the frequency of the current and the inductance of the component.

True Power

The actual power consumed by a circuit, calculated as the product of the voltage, current, and the cosine of the phase angle between them in a resistive load, measured in watts.
