How do capacitors supply reactive power?

This is always a source of confusion. I would recommend you dispel with the idea of “supplying” and “consuming” power when talking about inductances and capacitances. In reality, they do no such thing, though speaking this way in practice is fine ... read more

The capacitor supplies power to the inductor decreasing the reactive power the source has to provide. The basis for power factor correction. Select RLC in the reference. read more
