Power, Power Factor & Wattless Current

In an a.c. circuit with phase voltage VV and current II, the power dissipated is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. P=VIcos⁡ϕP = VI\cos\phi, where ϕ\phi is the phase angle between VV and II.
  2. So the power depends on the phase angle.
  3. So the answer is (b).
