Alternating Current

  1. ​The instantaneous values of alternating current and voltages in a circuit are given as
    i = 1sin(100πt) amper
    2

    e = 1sin(100πt/3) volt
    2

    The average power in Watts consumed in the circuit is :​​
    1. 1
      4
    2. 3
      4

    3. 1
      2
    4. 1
      8

Correct Option: D

​The average power in the circuit  where cos φ = power factory ​
< P > = Vrms × Irms cos φ

φ = π/3 = phase difference =
180
= 60
3

Vrms =1/√2= 1 Volt
22

Irms =1/√2= 1 Volt
22

cos φ =π= 1
32

< p > = 1x 1 x 1= 1 W
