Power factor is a measure of how effectively electrical power is being used in a system. It is defined as the ratio of real power (kW) to apparent power (kVA). Mathematically, it is represented as:

\[
Power \, Factor (PF) = \frac{Real \, Power (kW)}{Apparent \, Power (kVA)}
\]

The power factor value ranges from 0 to 1, where a power factor of 1 (or 100%) indicates that all the power supplied by the source is effectively used by the load, with no reactive power. A lower power factor suggests the presence of reactive power, which does not ___ ____ _____ ____ __________ _____ _______ ________ _________ __________ ______ ________.
