If ‘V’ is the voltage phasor and ‘I’ is the current phasor, then VI represents

• A. Active power
• B. Apparent power
• C. Total power
• D. Reactive power

Answer: (B)

Apparent Power (S): It is defined as the product of r.m.s value of voltage (V) and current (1). It is denoted by S.
S = V/I Volt Ampere
