Questions and Answers

What is the characteristic of an ideal inductor?

  • It contains neither inductance nor resistance
  • It contains only resistance and no inductance
  • It contains both resistance and inductance
  • It contains only inductance and no resistance (correct)

How is the instantaneous power graph of an ideal inductor obtained?

  • By subtracting the instantaneous voltage from the current
  • By dividing the instantaneous voltage by the current
  • By adding the instantaneous voltage and current
  • By multiplying the instantaneous voltage and current (correct)

What is the frequency of the instantaneous power curve compared to the current and voltage waveforms?

  • The same frequency
  • Four times the frequency
  • Twice the frequency (correct)
