Power, Power Factor & Wattless Current

In LCR series circuit, an alternating e.m.f. 'e' and current ' ii ' are given by equations e=160sin⁡(100t)e = 160\sin(100t) Volt and i=250sin⁡(100t+π3) mAi = 250\sin\left(100t + \frac{\pi}{3}\right)\text{ mA}. The average power dissipated in the circuit is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. P=e0i02cos⁡ϕP = \frac{e_0i_0}{2}\cos\phi with ϕ=60∘\phi = 60^\circ
  2. P=160×0.252×0.5P = \frac{160\times0.25}{2}\times0.5
  3. P=10 WP = 10\text{ W}
  4. So the answer is (c) 10 W.
