You don't have all the elements necessary to acquire an enforceable contract. "Apparent" authority doesn't count.

What is the apparent authority of an insurance agent?

Apparent authority is a legal concept pursuant to which an agent can be found to have bound a principal (master) despite not having the actual authority to do so. If the principal gives to the agent certain indicia of authority (for example, business cards, a title, etc) that would lead a reasonable person to believe that the agent has the authority to bind the principal, and the principal did nothing to countermand it, the principal may be bound by the acts of the agent. This theory, put into the context of an insurer/insurance agent, is what is meant by the term.

Weather a principal can cancel the general power attorney with out giving notice to the agent?

A principal can certainly cancel the general power of attorney without giving notice to the agent, but if notice is not given the agent might continue to act upon the principal's behalf. If the agent does continues to act without being told he shouldn't his actions for the Principal will still be effective against the Principal and the agent will not be held to have done anything wrong. The problem is that the agent will be acting with "apparent authority", which will be just as binding on the Principal as if the POA had never been revoked.
