What happens to reactive power in ideal inductors and capacitors?
Pick an answer to check it.
Answer: B. Energy is stored in magnetic or electric fields, but power is not dissipated
Ideal inductors and capacitors store energy in magnetic or electric fields and return it to the circuit. No power is dissipated as heat.
Tip: Stored and returned, never burned.
