The ____ power of a resistive-inductive series circuit can be found when a voltmeter and ammeter are used to measure the circuit voltage and current and then these measured values are multiplied together.
A) reactive
B) apparent
C) wattless
D) quadrature

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The apparent power (in VA) of a resistive-inductive series circuit can be found by multiplying the measured voltage (in V) with the measured current (in A). This gives the total power consumed by the circuit, considering both the resistive and reactive components.
