To explain what it means to be "in phase" we will use the example of the sled pulled by two dogs.
If the dogs pull both in the same direction, the slide will go fast if a dog pulls in a different direction from his partner will slow down.
The greater the direction difference and the lower the sledge speed.
Similarly, if current and voltage are "in phase", ie they pull in the same direction, the useful power will be greater.
In order to calculate the useful power the formula is:
Power (watt) = Voltage (volt) x Current
But if they are not in phase, the useful power also depends on the width of the corner that comes up:
Current (Amp) x Voltage (Watt) = Voltage

I'm a DIY enthusiast and expert, I've been creating, repairing, and fixing everything at home and for my friends all my life. My grandparents taught me the basics at a young age, and since then I've gained a wealth of experience. Experience teaches! It keeps you active and alert, and it makes you appreciate the dedication professional craftsmen put into their work. Let's learn together; every day is an opportunity to improve. Have fun!
