Current and voltage in an a. c. circuit are given as
\( I = 10 \sin(50t -
\frac{\pi}{2}) \text{ A} \)
\( V = 200 \sin(50t) \text{ V} \) (t represents time)
The power dissipated in the circuit is

  1. A 2000 W
  2. B 20 W
  3. C 0 W
  4. D 40 W
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 0 W

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( V_0 = 200 \text{ V}, I_0 = 10 \text{ A} \) \( \phi = 0 - (-\frac{\pi}{2}) = \frac{\pi}{2} \) \( P = \frac{V_0 I_0}{2} \cos(\phi) = \frac{200 \times 10}{2} \cos(\frac{\pi}{2}) = 1000 \times 0 = 0 \text{ W} \)
