So I started learning about power factor correction, after hearing that term for the first time in other thread.
They started talking about reactive power and that this power returns to the power mains, I never heard of it.
So I went back to study about reactive power, and I got into this line:
"when capacitor and inductor are both connected to the same AC voltage source, the inductor absorbs energy during the same “half cycle” that the capacitor is giving energy.".
This means nothing to me.
Its like i've never spent two years studing EE, I just cant believe it that i'm going to study now about power consumption of inductors and capacitors.

Can you post here a link that explains about when energy is stored at and produced by an inductor, I havent found anything beyond E = ½LI².
