How Do You Calculate Apparent and Reactive Power in AC Circuits?

[woodyzzz]

Yes, that will work.

Is it correct to assume that the current value is the same throughout the circuit ? or would you obtain different value i.e. across the resistor

It is a series circuit, so there's no option: The current must be identical throughout.
