B) lags the voltage across the resistor by 90°.
C) is in phase with the voltage across the resistor.
D) the voltage across the resistor by 45°.
E) lags the voltage across the resistor by 45°.
(c) How does the average power dissipated in the resistor change as the frequency in the ac power supply decreases?
A) It decreases.
B) It increases.
C) It does not change.
D) It increases or decreases depending on the sign of the phase angle.
