What are Complex Power and Power Factor?

Explains the concepts of Complex Power and Factor in electrical circuits with AC sources.
Note that the label "Im" on the graph of the complex plane in the video stands for "imaginary" and has nothing to do with the electrical current "Im" in the formula "( Vm * Im )/2".
