Alternating Current

Question:

In an ac circuit, with voltage $V$ and current $I$ the power dissipated is

Options:

$VI$

$\frac{1}{2}VI$

$\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}VI$

depends on the phase angle between $V$ and $I$.

Correct Answer:

depends on the phase angle between $V$ and $I$.

Explanation:

$\text{Power dissipated in an A.C circuit is } P = V_{rms}I_{rms} cos\phi$

$\text{ Power dissipated depends on power factor}$
