In a series LR circuit, the inductive reactance is equal to the resistance R of the circuit. An emf \( E = E_0 \cos \omega t \) is applied to the circuit. The average power dissipated in one cycle is :

  1. A \( \frac{E_0^2}{R} \)
  2. B \( \frac{E_0^2}{4R} \)
  3. C \( \frac{E_0^2}{2R} \)
  4. D \( \frac{E_0^2}{8R} \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \( \frac{E_0^2}{4R} \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( Z = \sqrt{R^2 + X_L^2} = \sqrt{R^2 + R^2} = R\sqrt{2} \) \( I_{rms} = \frac{E_{rms}}{Z} = \frac{E_0/\sqrt{2}}{R\sqrt{2}} = \frac{E_0}{2R} \) \( P_{avg} = I_{rms}^2 R = \left(\frac{E_0}{2R}\right)^2 R = \frac{E_0^2}{4R^2} R = \frac{E_0^2}{4R} \)
