For circuits used for transporting elecrtric power, a low power factor impleis larger power loss in transmission. Explain?

Explanation

To explain why a low power factor implies larger power loss in the transmission of electric power, we can follow these steps:

### Step 1: Understanding Power Factor
The power factor (PF) is defined as the cosine of the phase angle (φ) between the voltage and current in an AC circuit. Mathematically, it is expressed as:
\[ \text{Power Factor (PF)} = \cos(\phi) = \frac{P}{V_{\text{rms}} \cdot I_{\text{rms}}} \]
where:
- \( P \) is the real power (in watts),
- \( V_{\text{rms}} \) is the root mean square voltage (in volts),
