Which of the following statements are true regarding alternating current:
(A) In an a.c. circuit containing resistance only, a.c. power is expressed in the same form as d.c. power (\( P = I^2 R \)), using a special value of current called root mean square (rms) or effective current, denoted by \( I_{rms} \).
(B) A phasor is a vector.
(C) Resonance phenomenon is exhibited by a circuit even if both L and C are not present in the circuit.
(D) For circuits used for transporting electric power, a low power factor implies less power loss in transmission.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  1. A (A), (B) and (D) only
  2. B (A) and (B) only
  3. C (A), (B), (C) and (D)
  4. D (B), (C) and (D) only
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) (A) and (B) only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(A) and (B) only (A) True: In a purely resistive AC circuit, the average power dissipated is indeed \(P=I_{r m s}^2 R\). The Root Mean Square (RMS) value is specifically defined to represent the equivalent DC current that would produce the same heating effect. (B) True: A phasor…
