Q7.18 (e)  A circuit containing a 80mH inductor and a 60\mu F  capacitor in series is connected to a 230\: V50\: Hz  supply. The resistance of the circuit is negligible. What is the total average power absorbed by the circuit? [‘Average’ implies ‘averaged over one cycle’.]

Since the phase difference between voltage and current is 90 degree, even the total power absorbed by the circuit is zero. This is an ideal circuit, we can not have any circuit in practical that consumes no power, that is because practically resistance of any circuit is never zero. Here only inductor and capacitor are present and none of them consumes energy, they just store it and transfer it like they are doing it in this case.
