The rate at which energy is dissipated through heat transfer in an a.c. circuit is termed
A) apparent power'.
B) true power'.
C) reactive power'.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

True power is the rate at which energy is dissipated through heat transfer in an a.c. circuit. Apparent power is the product of voltage and current, while reactive power is the energy that oscillates back and forth between the circuit's inductance and capacitance without ever being dissipated.
