The correct answer is: D. The statement is incorrect<\/strong>.<\/p>\n A pure capacitor cannot consume power in an AC circuit. This is because the current through a capacitor is 90 degrees out of phase with the voltage across it. This means that the power factor of a pure capacitor is 0, and therefore the power consumed by a pure capacitor is 0.<\/p>\n The other options are incorrect because they are all factors that can affect the power consumed by a capacitor in an AC circuit. The capacitive reactance is the opposition to the flow of current by a capacitor. The current flowing in a capacitor is determined by the applied voltage and the capacitive reactance. The size of the capacitor does not affect the power consumed by the capacitor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [amp_mcq option1=”The capacitive reactance in ohms” option2=”The current flowing in capacitor” option3=”voltage consumed 50 W.
