  3. C 10 W
  4. D 100 W
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 10 W

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(e=1.60 \sin (100 t)\) volt and
\(\mathrm{i}=250 \sin \left(100 \mathrm{t}+\frac{\pi}{3}\right) \quad \mathrm{mA}\)
Comparing given equations with the standard forms, \(e=e_0 \sin \omega t\) and \(i=i_0 \sin (\omega t+\phi)\) we get,
\(\begin{aligned}
& \mathrm{e}_0=160 \mathrm{~V}, \mathrm{I}_0=250 \mathrm{~mA} \\
& \therefore \quad \text { Power }=\frac{\mathrm{e}_0}{\sqrt{2}} \cdot \frac{\mathrm{I}_0}{\sqrt{2}} \cos \phi \\
&=\frac{160 \times 250 \times 10^{-3}}{2} \times \cos \left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right) \\
&=\frac{40}{2} \times \frac{1}{2} \\
&=10 \mathrm{~W}
\end{aligned}\)
