12th Class Physics Alternating Current / प्रत्यावर्ती धारा Question Bank MCQ - Alternating Currents

  • question_answer
    An inductor of reactance \[1\,\Omega \] and a resistor of \[2\,\Omega \] are connected in series to the terminals of a 6V (rms) AC source. The power dissipated in the circuit is:

    A) 8 W                 

    B) 12 W    

    C) 14.4 W                         

    D) 18 W

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    (c) 14.4 W Here,     \[{{X}_{L}}=1\,\Omega ,\,R=2\,\Omega ,\,{{V}_{rms}}=6V\] Impedance of the circuit \[Z=\sqrt{X_{L}^{2}+{{R}^{2}}}=\sqrt{{{(1)}^{2}}+{{(2)}^{2}}}=\sqrt{5}\,\Omega \] \[{{l}_{rms}}=\frac{{{V}_{rms}}}{Z}=\frac{6}{\sqrt{5}}A\] Power dissipated \[P={{V}_{rms}}{{l}_{rms}}\cos \phi ={{V}_{rms}}{{l}_{rms}}\frac{R}{Z}\] \[=6\times \frac{6}{\sqrt{5}}\times \frac{2}{\sqrt{5}}=\frac{72}{5}=14.4\,\,W\]
