Alternating Current

Question:
Which of the following circuits shows the maximum power dissipation?
Options:
Purely capacitive circuit
Purely inductive circuit
Purely resistive circuit
None of the above
Correct Answer:
Purely resistive circuit
Explanation:
In a purely resistive circuit, the voltage and current are in same phase so phase difference is zero. Therefore, it will have maximum power dissipation as cosϕ=1 in this case.
