AI Generated Solution

To determine where power dissipation occurs in an alternating current (AC) circuit, we can analyze the roles of resistance, inductance, and capacitance. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Power Dissipation**: - Power dissipation in electrical circuits refers to the conversion of electrical energy into heat or other forms of energy. In AC circuits, this is primarily associated with resistive components. 2. **Power Formula**: ...
