A) 50 W
B) 86.6 W
C) 100 W
D) 200 W
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
Average power dissipated in an AC circuit \[{{P}_{av}}={{V}_{rms}}{{I}_{rms}}\cos \phi \] ?(i) where the term \[\cos \text{o }\!\!|\!\!\text{ }\]is known as power factor. Given, \[{{V}_{rms}}=100\,volt,\,R=100\,\Omega ,\phi ={{30}^{o}}\] \[\therefore \] \[{{I}_{rms}}=\frac{{{V}_{rms}}}{R}=\frac{100}{100}=1\,A\] Putting the values in Eq. (i), we get \[{{P}_{av}}=100\times 1\times \cos {{30}^{o}}\] \[=100\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\] \[=50\sqrt{3}\] \[=86.6\,W\] Note: The product of \[{{V}_{rms}}\]and \[{{I}_{rms}}\] the apparent power, while the true power is obtained by multiplying the apparent power by the power factor \[\cos \phi \]You need to login to perform this action.
