Calculate the active power in a .45 H inductor.(a) 0.11 W(b) 0.14 W(c) 0.15 W(d) 0 WI got this question in class test.The origin of the question is Methods of Starting Electric Motors in portion Starting of Electric Drives

Answer»

The correct ANSWER is (d) 0 W

Easiest 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.
