In an \(\mathrm{AC}\) circuit, \(V\) and \(I\) are given by \(V=150 \sin (150 t) \) volt and \(I=150 \sin \left(150 t+\frac{\pi}{3}\right)\) amp. The power dissipated in the circuit is

  1. A \(106 \mathrm{~W}\)
  2. B \(150 \mathrm{~W}\)
  3. C \(5625 \mathrm{~W}\)
  4. D zero
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(5625 \mathrm{~W}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given \(V=150 \sin (150 t)\) volt
\(I=150 \sin (150 t+\pi / 3) \mathrm{amp}\)
\(I_{0}=150 \mathrm{amp}\)
\(V_{0}=150\) volt
\(P=\frac{1}{2} V_{0} I_{0} \cos \phi\)
\(P=0.5 \times 150 \times 150 \times \cos 60^{\circ}\)
\(P=5625 W\)
