Active Power:
Active power represents the energy delivered to a circuit element or device from an external source. It is the amount of power dissipated by the element or device while it is connected to the source.
Reactive Power:
Reactive power represents the energy stored by an element or device in an electric circuit. It is the energy that is supplied by the source to the circuit to maintain the element's energy level. Reactive power appears to be flowing from the source to the circuit.
Apparent Power:
Apparent power is the power that is actually delivered to a circuit element or device from an external source. It is the total power that is available to the circuit, including both active and reactive power. Apparent power can be different from the actual power delivered to the circuit due to power factor considerations
