Power consumed in an AC circuit becomes zero if

Options

  1. Ainductance and resistance are both high
  2. Binductance and resistance are both low
  3. Cinductance very high and resistance negligible
  4. Dinductance low and resistance high

Correct answer

C. inductance very high and resistance negligible

Step-by-step solution

The power consumption in an AC circuit is zero when circuit contains only inductance or capacitance. So, for the given option when inductance is very high and resistance is negligible, then power consumed is zero.
