Electrostatic Potential And Capacitance

Question
CBSEENPH12038047

In an a.c. circuit the voltage applied is E = E0 sin ωt. The resulting current in the circuit is I = I0 sin (ωt - π/2). What will be the power consumption in the circuit?

Solution

On comparing the two equations we can see that, phase difference between current and voltage is π/2 . 
Therefore, the power consumption in the circuit is 0. [ because, cos π/2 = 0 ]
