AC Power: Basic Principles - Real, Reactive and Apparent Power - what do they REALLY mean?

This video is an animated explanation of Power in AC systems. Why are there 3 different types of power? We use an intuitive approach to try to understand what Real, Reactive and Apparent power actually are. We first look at their fundamental mechanisms in isolation - first for real power, then for reactive power. After this, we define Power Factor. With this intuition, it is easier to understand the true nature of power.
