Calculate the reactive power in a 23 Ω resistor.(a) 45 VAR(b) 10 VAR(c) 245 VAR(d) 0 VARThis question was addressed to me during a job interview.This interesting question is from Starting topic in section Starting of Electric Drives

Answer»

The correct answer is (d) 0 VAR

Easy EXPLANATION: The resistor is a linear element. It only absorbs real power and dissipates it in the form of HEAT. The voltage and current are in the same phase in case of the resistor so the ANGLE between V & I is 90°. Q = VIsin0° = 0 VAR.
