A) 0.54 VARs
B) 0.89 VARs
C) 1.15 VARs
D) 1.23 VARs
Reactive Power
The portion of electricity that oscillates between the source and load, stored and discharged by inductive or capacitive components, not converted to work.
Inductive Reactance
The opposition that an inductor presents to the change in current flow due to its stored magnetic energy, expressed in ohms.
Parallel Circuit
An electrical circuit in which components are connected across common points or junctions to provide multiple paths for current to flow.
