The current and voltage in an a. c. circuit are given as |
1.25 W 2.50 W 1250 W 10 W |
1.25 W |
The correct answer is Option (2) → 1.25 W Given: $ I = 50\sin(50t)\,\text{mA} = 50 \times 10^{-3}\sin(50t)\,\text{A} $ $ V = 100\sin(50t + \pi/3)\,\text{V} $ rms values: $ I_{rms} = \frac{I_{0}}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{50 \times 10^{-3}}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{0.05}{\sqrt{2}}\,\text{A} $ $ V_{rms} = \frac{V_{0}}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{100}{\sqrt{2}}\,\text{V} $ Phase difference: $ \phi = \pi/3 $ Average power dissipated: $ P = V_{rms} I_{rms} \cos\phi $ $ P = \left(\frac{100}{\sqrt{2}}\right)\left(\frac{0.05}{\sqrt{2}}\right)\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right) $ $ P = \left(\frac{100 \times 0.05}{2}\right)\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) $ $ P = (2.5)(0.5) = 1.25 \,\text{W} $ Power dissipated = 1.25 W |
