An inductor of reactance \(1 \Omega\) and a resistor of resistance \(3 \Omega\) are connected in series to the terminals of \(10 \mathrm{~V}\) (rms) AC source. The power dissipated in the circuit is

  1. A \(33.3 \mathrm{~W}\)
  2. B \(30 \mathrm{~W}\)
  3. C \(31.6 \mathrm{~W}\)
  4. D \(20 \mathrm{~W}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(30 \mathrm{~W}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Average power dissipated. \(P_{\mathrm{avg}}=\frac{v_{\mathrm{rms}}^2 R}{z^2}\) Here, \(Z=\) impedence \(=\sqrt{X_L^2+R^2}\) where, \(X_L=\) inductive reactance \(=L \omega\) So impedence, \(z=\sqrt{X_L^2+R^2}\) \(=\sqrt{1^2+3^2}\) (Here given, \(X_L=1 \Omega\) and…
