Q52JEE Main 2022 · 30 JUL · SHIFT 2Medium

Power, Power Factor & Wattless Current

In an A.C circuit, V & I are given by V=250sin⁡(100t)V = 250\sin(100t) volt and I=10sin⁡(100t+π3) AI = 10\sin\left(100t + \frac{\pi}{3}\right)\text{ A} respectively The power dissipated in the circuit is:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. P=V0I02cos⁡ϕP = \frac{V_0I_0}{2}\cos\phi with phase difference ϕ=π3\phi = \frac{\pi}{3}.
  2. P=250×102×cos⁡60∘=1250×0.5P = \frac{250 \times 10}{2} \times \cos 60^\circ = 1250 \times 0.5.
  3. P=625 WP = 625\text{ W}.
  4. So the answer is (b) 625 W.
