A varve is an annual layer of sediment or sedimentary rock. The word 'varve' derives from the Swedish word varv whose meanings and connotations include 'revolution', 'in layers', and 'circle'. The term first appeared as Hvarfig lera (varved clay) on the first map produced by the Geological Survey of Sweden in 1862.
Technically, VArs are the product of the rms voltage and current, or the apparent power, multiplied by the sine of the phase angle between the voltage and the current. Or in mathematical terms, the reactive power Q, (measured in units of volt-amperes reactive or VAr), is given by. Q = Vrms * Irms * sin(Ï)
