In this video I will explain the difference between instantaneous and average power and how it applies to capacitive circuits and inductive circuits. I will illustrate this by using 5 different circuits with various devices of inductors, resistors, and capacitors. In other words I will have a purely inductive circuit, an inductor and resistor circuit, a purely resistor circuit, a capacitor and resistor circuit, and a purely capacitor circuit. Using those 5 various circuits, I will find the difference of the phase angles, average power, graph the instantaneous power vs time graph, and the average power vs time graph.
