Of the different power values in an RL circuit, which one is known as quadrature power?
A) VA
B) W
C) VARs
Quadrature Power
Same as VARs or wattless power.
RL Circuit
An electrical circuit composed of resistors (R) and inductors (L) used to analyze the behavior of circuits with respect to changing currents.
Power Values
Numerical quantifications that represent the rate at which energy is converted, transferred, or used in an electrical circuit, typically measured in watts.
- Define and identify different types of power in RL circuits (true power, apparent power, reactive power).

Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Quadrature power in an RL circuit is represented by VARs (Volt-Ampere Reactive). It is the reactive power associated with the reactive components (inductors and capacitors) and does not contribute to the work output but is essential for the magnetic and electric field storage.
