Pure inductive circuit takes power from the A.C. line when_________?

Correct answer: A. applied voltage decreases but current increases

  • A. applied voltage decreases but current increases
  • B. applied voltage increases but current decreases
  • C. both applied voltage and current increase
  • D. both applied voltage and current decrease

Explanation

In a pure inductor, current lags voltage by 90° and energy is returned during the remaining part of the cycle. The source supplies energy when voltage decreases while current increases, making option a correct.
