Each equation is quoted by some sources as the defining relationship of Ohm's law or all three are<br />

quoted, or derived from a proportional form, or even just the two that do not correspond to Ohm's<br />

original statement may sometimes be given<br />

The way you can change the equation may be represented by a triangle, where V is the voltage and<br />

is placed on the top section, I is the current and is placed to the left section, and R is the resistance<br />

and is placed to the right.<br />

The line that divides the left and right sections indicate multiplication, and the divider between the<br />

top and bottom sections indicates division (hence the division bar).<br />

Power Factor<br />

In AC circuits, the power factor is the ratio of the Real Power that is used to do work and the<br />

Apparent Power that is supplied to the circuit.<br />

The power factor can get values in the range from 0 to 1.<br />

When all the power is reactive power with no real power (usually inductive load) - the power factor<br />

is 0.?<br />

When all the power is real power with no reactive power (resistive load) - the power factor is 1.<br />

Real power<br />

Real power is the power that is used to do the work on the load.<br />
