Power, Power Factor & Wattless Current

An AC voltage V=20sin⁡200πtV = 20\sin 200\pi t is applied to a series LCR circuit which drives a current I=10sin⁡(200πt+π3)I = 10\sin\left(200\pi t + \frac{\pi}{3}\right). The average power dissipated is:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. P=V0I02cos⁡ϕP = \frac{V_0I_0}{2}\cos\phi with ϕ=π3\phi = \frac{\pi}{3}
  2. P=20×102×0.5P = \frac{20\times10}{2}\times0.5
  3. P=50 WP = 50\text{ W}
  4. So the answer is (d) 50 W.
