Definitions:

Apparent Power

The total power in an AC circuit, equal to the product of the voltage and current, measured in volt-amperes (VA).

RC Circuit

An electrical circuit composed of resistors and capacitors used to filter or time delay signals.

Voltage Drop

The reduction in voltage as electric current flows through passive elements (like resistors) in a circuit.

Series RC

A circuit in which a resistor (R) and a capacitor (C) are connected in a single series path, affecting the circuit's overall impedance and phase angle.
