Where is the phase angle between the voltage and current. The additional term is called the power
factor
POWER FACTOR= =
From the phasor diagram for AC impedance, it can be seen that the power factor is R/Z. For a purely
resistive AC circuit, R=Z and the power factor = 1.
Impedance
While Ohm's Law applies directly to resistors in DC or in AC circuits, the form of the current-voltage
relationship in AC circuits in general is modified to the form: Impedance Z=
