In a circuit containing R, L and C, power loss can take place in____________?
Correct answer: C. R only
- A. C only
- B. L only
- C. R only
- D. all above
Explanation
An ideal resistor converts electrical energy into heat, producing real power loss. Ideal inductors and capacitors only store and return energy, so they do not consume average power.
