For a purely inductive circuit which of the following is true ?
Correct answer: C. Actual power of the circuit is zero
- A. Apparent power is zero
- B. Relative power is.zero
- C. Actual power of the circuit is zero
- D. Any capacitance even if present in the circuit will not be charged
Explanation
A pure inductor consumes no average or actual power because current is 90° out of phase with voltage, although its apparent power is not zero. It alternately stores and returns energy, so option c is correct.
