Power in AC Circuits - NEET Physics Questions
Question 11: easy

Which of the following AC circuit will not dissipate energy? (Symbols have their usual meaning)

1. A series LCR circuit
2. A series LR circuit
3. A series LC circuit
4. A series RC circuit
View Answer

In a purely reactive circuit like a series LC circuit, the average power dissipated is zero because the phase difference between the current and voltage is \( 90^\circ \), making the power factor \( \cos\phi = 0 \).
