In circuit analysis, the complex power is S = P + jQ. For the avarage power P, we can use wattmetter to measure P. But how we can measure the reactive power Q in the circuit ?

Best Answer
To measure reactive power you use a VAR meter.
The indicated number is \$V \times A \times sin(\theta)\$, so the indication will be zero for a resistive load.
