In a purely inductive circuit__________?
Correct answer: A. actual power is zero
- A. actual power is zero
- B. reactive power is zero
- C. apparent power is zero
- D. none of above is zero
Explanation
In a purely inductive circuit, current lags voltage by 90°, so average or actual power is zero even though reactive power and apparent power are nonzero.
