What is the phase relationship between current and voltage for reactive power?
Pick an answer to check it.
Answer: C. They are 90 degrees out of phase
Reactive power occurs when current and voltage are 90 degrees out of phase, as in a pure inductor or capacitor. Energy is stored and returned rather than used.
Tip: Reactive power: 90 degrees apart.
