Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the term for the reactive power flow in a transmission line?
  • Step 1: Understand that power in electrical systems has two main components: active power and reactive power.
  • Step 2: Active power is the power that does useful work, like turning on a light bulb.
  • Step 3: Reactive power is the power that does not do useful work but is necessary for maintaining voltage levels in the system.
  • Step 4: Reactive power flows back and forth between the source (like a power plant) and the load (like a home or factory).
  • Step 5: The term for this reactive power flow in a transmission line is called 'reactive power'.
