Power, Power Factor & Wattless Current

Average power associated with an ideal inductor and ideal capacitor over a complete cycle of a.c. is respectively

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. Pav=VrmsIrmscos⁡ϕP_{av} = V_{rms}I_{rms}\cos\phi.
  2. For ideal L and ideal C, ϕ=90∘\phi = 90^\circ, so cos⁡ϕ=0\cos\phi = 0.
  3. Average power is zero in both.
  4. So the answer is (c) zero, zero.
