Formula:
The formula for single phase electric power is:
P = V × I × PF
- P = Power in Watts
- V = Voltage in Volts
- I = Current in Amperes
- PF = Power Factor (dimensionless, typically between 0 and 1)
This formula helps you understand the true power consumed by an AC circuit, considering not just voltage and current, but also the phase difference between them.
