Moderate
In a highly capacitive circuit the__________?
Correct answer: C. reactive power is more than the actual power
- A. apparent power is equal to the actual power
- B. reactive power is more than the apparent power
- C. reactive power is more than the actual power
- D. actual power is more than its reactive power
Explanation
In a highly capacitive circuit, the phase angle is close to 90°, so reactive power is much larger than active or actual power. Apparent power remains the vector combination of active and reactive power and cannot be smaller than reactive power.
