| Description |
An illustration for power factor, showing the voltage, current, and instantaneous power waveforms along with the average power, over a full cycle, when current lags voltage by 90°. The curve labels in the key are in descending order by peak value. |

This graph was created using Gnuplot 4.2 and then edited with Inkscape. The gnuplot command used to generate the original graph was:
plot \ cos(x) title "Voltage", \ 0.8*cos(x-90) title "Current", \ 0.8*cos(x)*cos(x-90) title "Power", \ 0 title "Average power"
