Power, Power Factor & Wattless Current

In a L-RL\text{-}R circuit the inductive reactance is equal to the resistance RR in the circuit. An emf E=E0cos⁡ωtE = E_0 \cos\omega t is applied to the circuit. The power consumed in the circuit is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. XL=RX_L = R, so Z2=2R2Z^2 = 2R^2.
  2. P=Erms2RZ2=E022⋅R2R2P = \frac{E_{rms}^2R}{Z^2} = \frac{E_0^2}{2} \cdot \frac{R}{2R^2}.
  3. P=E024RP = \frac{E_0^2}{4R}.
  4. So the answer is (b) E024R\frac{E_0^2}{4R}.
