Step 1: Define Form factor (2.1.1) The form factor is the ratio of the RMS (Root Mean Square) value to the average value of an alternating current or voltage waveform. For a sinusoidal waveform, its value is approximately 1.11. Step 2: Define RMS value (2.1.2) The RMS (Root Mean Square) value of an alternating current or voltage is the effective value that produces the same amount of heat in a given resistor as a constant direct current or voltage of the same magnitude over the same period of time. Step 3: Explain the term power factor (2.2) The power factor in an AC circuit is the ratio of the real power (active power) consumed
