Power, Power Factor & Wattless Current

In series LCR circuit R =18 Ω= 18\ \Omega and impedance is 30 Ω30\ \Omega. An rms voltage 210 V is applied across the circuit. The true power consumed in AC circuit is nearly

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. True power P=V2RZ2P = \frac{V^2R}{Z^2}
  2. P=2102×18302=44100×18900P = \frac{210^2\times18}{30^2} = \frac{44100\times18}{900}
  3. P=882 WP = 882\text{ W}
  4. So the answer is (c) 882 W.
