The maximum power is dissipated for an ac in a/an

The maximum power is dissipated for an ac in a/an
  1. Inductive circuit
  2. Capacitive circuit
  3. Resistive circuit
  4. LC circuit

Solution

$P=V_{\text {ms }} I_{\mathrm{ms}} \cos \phi$ In purely resistive circuit voltage and current are in same phase therefore phase difference is zero. So, $\cos \phi=1$ $\therefore$ Power dissipated is maximum.
