Calculate the active power in a 181 H inductor.(a) 2448 W(b) 1789 W(c) 4879 W(d) 0 WThe question was asked in an online interview.This intriguing question comes from DC Motors topic in section Characteristics of DC & AC Motors of Electric Drives

Answer»

The CORRECT choice is (d) 0 W

Easy explanation: The inductor is a linear ELEMENT. It only absorbs reactive power and STORES it in the form of oscillating energy. The VOLTAGE and CURRENT are 90° in phase in case of the inductor so the angle between V & I is 90°. P = VIcos90 = 0 W.
