An inductor of reactance 100 \( \Omega \) and resistor of resistance 100 \( \Omega \) are joined in series and connected by AC source of emf 220 V. Power dissipated in the circuit is:

  1. A Zero
  2. B 242 W
  3. C 346 W
  4. D 141 W
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 242 W

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( Z = \sqrt{R^2 + X_L^2} = \sqrt{100^2 + 100^2} = 100\sqrt{2} \, \Omega \) \( I_{rms} = \frac{V}{Z} = \frac{220}{100\sqrt{2}} = 1.1\sqrt{2} \, A \) \( P = I_{rms}^2 R = (1.1\sqrt{2})^2 \times 100 = 242 \, W \)
