See Real power for detailed explanation

In alternating current power transmission and distribution, effective power (also true power or real power) is the actual power delivered to a system. This is to distinguish it from other definitions of power ( apparent power, reactive power, complex power). It is usually denoted as P and expressed in watts. In fact, only effective power should be expressed in watts.

Effective power can be calculated as the product of the rms voltage and current (the apparent power), multiplied by the power factor (the cosine of the phase angle between the voltage and the current).

Effective data transfer rateIn telecommunication, effective data transfer rate is the average number of units of data, such as bits, characters, blocks, or frames, transferred per unit time from a source and accepted as valid by a sink. Note: The effective data transfer rate is usua	Effective Earth radiusIn telecommunication, effective Earth radius is the radius of a hypothetical Earth for which the distance to the radio horizon, assuming rectilinear propagation, is the same as that for the actual Earth with an assumed uniform vertical gradient of atmosph	Effective heightIn telecommunication, the term effective height has the following meanings: 1. The height of the center of radiation of an antenna above the effective ground level. In low- frequency applications involving loaded or nonloaded vertical antennas, the moment
Effective input noise temperatureIn telecommunications, effective input noise temperature is the source noise temperature in a two- port network or amplifier that will result in the same output noise power, when connected to a noise-free network or amplifier, as that of the actual networ	Effective mode volumeFor an optical fiber, the effective mode volume is the square of the product of the diameter of the near- field pattern and the sine of the radiation angle of the far-field pattern. The diameter of the near-field radiation pattern is defined here as the f	Effective powerSee Real power for detailed explanation In alternating current power transmission and distribution, effective power (also true power or real power is the actual power delivered to a system.
