The RMS value of an alternating current is defined as that steady current which when flowing
through a given resistance for a given time to produce a same amount of heat as produce by the
alternating current when flowing through the same resistance for the same time. It is also known
as Effective value of an AC.
Mathematically,
Power Factor of an AC electrical power system is defined as the ratio of the real power
following to the load to the apparent power in the circuit.
The product of applied voltage and the reactive component of current is called reactive
power.
