I wonder what really happens to powers in capacitors and inductors when they are connected in a circuit either in series or in parallel.
I know that inductors have a positive reactive power while capacitors a negative one, so I imagine inductors release energy while capacitors absorb it, but it sounds strange to me that they always do that without reversing their behavior so to have the inductors that absorb and viceversa. It's very improbable to me that a capacitor absorb energy continuously, I mean, at a certain point it should be full.
Anyway, I don't know...
