it is interesting to know that Capacitor consumes and inductor supplies.

 

I have understood negetive power iR-jIXc is due to fact that it is consuming power,but

phase angle of voltage is lagging behind current by 90degree.ie(sqrt(r2+x2) and phase

angle is -90 degree.

 

So it is just about phase angle,not touching amplitude.
