Answer: A. The apparent power is greater than or equal to active power
In any A.C circuit always the apparent power is greater than or equal to active power.
Explanation:
Apparent power S=P+jQ
S=√(P2+Q2)
Here, P is active power, and Q is reactive power.
Hence always apparent power is greater than active power, in the case of resonance or balanced compensation of the reactive power it will be equal to the active power.
Hence In any A.C circuit always the apparent power is greater than or equal to active power.
option A is the correct answer.
