For the circuit shown below, if the power dissipated in the 6Ω resistor is zero then V is—
-
- 20√2 ∠ 45°
- 20 ∠ 30°
- 20 ∠ 45°
- 20√2 ∠ 30°
- 20√2 ∠ 45°
Correct Option: C
The given circuit: 
Given that power dissipated in the 6Ω resistor is zero, it means voltage at node 1 is same as 2 (i.e., V1 = V2)
KCL at node 1
| + | + | = 0 | |||
| 1 | j1 | 6 + j8 |
or
| V1 1 + | 20 0°(since V1 = V2) | |
| j1 |
or
| V1 = 20 0° | .........…(i) | |
| (j + 1) |
Again KCL at node 2:
| + | V1 | + | = 0 | ||
| 6 + j8 | 5 | 5 |
or
| = | V | (since V1 = V2) | |
| 5 | 5 |
or
| V2 = | ...........(ii) | |
| 2 |
From equation (i) and (ii)
| 20 0° | = | ||
| j + 1 | 2 |
or
| V = | |
| 2 × 45° |
20 2 45°
Hence alternative (A) is the correct choice.
