Why are inductive losses from AC greater than resistive losses from DC?
Can you explain why inductive losses from AC are greater than resistive losses from DC?
Sure! Inductive losses occur in AC circuits due to the magnetic field generated by the alternating current which causes energy to be lost as heat in the inductor. This is not an issue in DC circuits because there is no alternating current or magnetic field present. However, resistive losses still occur in both AC and DC circuits due to the resistance in the wires or components, but the inductive losses can be more significant in AC circuits.
