COMEDK · Physics · 23. Alternating Current

The instantaneous values of alternating current and voltages in a circuit given as
\(\begin{aligned}
& i=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \sin (100 \pi t) \mathrm{amp} \\
& e=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \sin (100 \pi t+\pi / 3) \text { volt }
\end{aligned}\)
The average power (in watts) consumed in the circuit is

  1. A \(\dfrac{1}{8}\)
  2. B \(\dfrac{1}{4}\)
  3. C \(\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\)
  4. D \(\dfrac{1}{2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\dfrac{1}{8}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The instantaneous current is given by \(i = I_{0} \sin(\omega t)\) where \(I_{0} = \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\) A and \(\omega = 100\pi\) rad/s. The instantaneous voltage is given by \(e = E_{0} \sin(\omega t + \phi)\) where \(E_{0} = \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\) V and…
