Q

What is the term for the out-of-phase power associated with inductors and capacitors?

🔍 Key Concepts

• AC power components: how power behaves in circuits with inductors and capacitors • Difference between real (true) power and power that does not do useful work • How phase angle between voltage and current affects power in AC circuits

💭 Think About

• Which type of power actually does useful work and is measured in watts on most equipment nameplates? • Which option describes power that flows back and forth between the source and the reactive components (inductors/capacitors) due to the phase shift? • Look at each choice: which term is specifically used in AC circuit theory to describe power caused by phase differences, not by real energy consumption?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice refers to power that is 90 degrees out of phase with voltage or current in AC circuits • Eliminate any answers that are clearly related to average power actually consumed by the load • Verify which term is used in power-factor discussions involving inductive and capacitive reactance
