Can the instantaneous power output of an AC source ever be negative ? Can average power output be negative ? Justify your answer.

Answer»

Solution :YES, Instantaneous POWER output of an AC source can be negative. Instantaneous power output `P= EI = (E.I.)/( 2)[cos phi - cos (2 omega t + phi)]`
No, `P_("avc") = V_("rms") I_("rms") cos f`
`P_("avc" gt 0)`
`cos phi = (R )/(Z ) gt 0`
