For a purely resistive AC circuit, the phase difference between voltage and current is:

Show answer

0°

In a purely resistive circuit, voltage and current are in phase, meaning they reach their maximum and minimum values at the same time.

2multiple choice

The average power consumed in a pure capacitor connected to AC is:

Show answer

Zero

A pure capacitor stores and releases energy alternately, so the average power consumed over a cycle is zero.

3multiple choice

The unit of capacitive reactance is:

Show answer

Ohm

Capacitive reactance \( X_C = 1/(\omega C) \) opposes AC current and is measured in ohms, similar to resistance.

4multiple choice

In a pure inductor, the current:

Show answer

Lags the voltage by 90°

In a pure inductor, the current lags behind the voltage by a phase angle of 90° due to self-inductance.
