Can a.c. source be connected to a circuit and yet deliver no power to it ? If so, under what circumstance ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Yes, this would happen when phase difference between alternating voltage and alternating current is `90^(@)`. It can happen when the circuit contians pure L or pure C.
