The inductive load

The capacitive load

The rms-emf will be

(a)

When the inductor is removed from the circuit the impedance will be

The rms-current will be

Therefore, the average power dissipated will be

(b)

When the capacitor is removed from the circuit the impedance will be

The rms-current will be

Therefore, the average power dissipated will be
