  1. A 0.4 A
  2. B 40 A
  3. C 10 A
  4. D 4 A
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 40 A

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(B) 40 A
Here phase difference is \(\phi=\frac{\pi}{2}\)
\(\Rightarrow\) power \(\mathrm{P}_{1}=\mathrm{V}_{1} \mathrm{I}_{1}\)
\(
\therefore \quad \begin{aligned}
\mathrm{I}_{1} & =\frac{\mathrm{P}_{1}}{\mathrm{~V}_{1}} \\
\mathrm{I}_{1} & =\frac{4 \times 10^{3}}{100} \\
\mathrm{I}_{1} & =40 \mathrm{~A}
\end{aligned}
