Q133 / 200 · NEET 2023 (Manipur) · Physics

The maximum power is dissipated for an ac in a/an

A
Inductive circuit
B
Capacitive circuit
Correct answer
C
Resistive circuit
D
LC circuit

Solution

$P=V_{\text {ms }} I_{\mathrm{ms}} \cos \phi$ In purely resistive circuit voltage and current are in same phase therefore phase difference is zero. So, $\cos \phi=1$ $\therefore$ Power dissipated is maximum.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
