Step 1
Capacitors and inductors are commonly used in electrical circuits to improve the power factor, which is the ratio of the active power (measured in watts) to the apparent power (measured in volt-amperes) in an AC circuit. Power factor improvement is important because it can help to reduce power losses and improve the efficiency of electrical systems.
Capacitors and inductors are passive electronic components that can store energy in an electric or magnetic field, respectively.
