1.4 POWER IN A.C CIRCUIT

Average power

Inspection of the power waveform of fig 1.1 shows that its average value lies half way
between zero and its peak valtie of Vay. That is
P
Since V (the magnitude of the rm. value of voltage) is Va/V2 and I (the magnitude
Valle/2
of the rm.s vale of current) is Iq/V2, this can be written as P = VI. Thus, power
(average power) to a purely resistive load is P = VI (watts).

1.1.2 Power in A.C Circuit Containing Inductance only
For a purely inductive load as in fig 1.3(a), current lags voltage by 90°. A sketch of P
versus time (obtained by multiplying V times i) then looks as shown in fig 1.3(b).

Consider fig 1.3. Energy stored during each quarter-cycle is retumed during the next
quarter cycle. Thus, the average power is zero. Consequently. the only power flowing
