The average power dissipation in a pure capacitance is
Correct answer: D. 0
- A. 1/2CV^2
- B. CV^2
- C. 2 CV^2
- D. 0
Explanation
In a pure capacitance, the current leads the voltage by 90 degrees, and the power is alternately absorbed and returned to the circuit. As a result, the average power dissipation in a pure capacitance over a complete cycle is zero

About Electromagnetism
Magnetic flux density and magnetic flux describe the strength of a magnetic field and the field passing through a surface. A charged particle moving through a magnetic field experiences a force perpendicular to its velocity and may follow circular or helical motion, depending on the angle between velocity and field.
