This document discusses power in AC circuits. It defines impedance as the opposition any circuit presents when voltage is applied. It describes how impedance is calculated for resistive, capacitive, and inductive circuits. It explains that the current lags the voltage by a phase angle in an RL circuit and leads the voltage in an RC circuit. It gives formulas for calculating average power delivered in pure resistive, reactive, RC, and RL circuits. The average power depends on the power factor, which relates to the phase difference between the current and voltage.
