The correct Answer is:
To find the average power consumed in the given AC circuit, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the peak values of EMF and current The given instantaneous values are: - \( e(t) = 200 \sin(314t) \) volts - \( i(t) = \sin(314t + \frac{\pi}{3}) \) amperes From the equation of EMF, we can see that the peak value \( E_0 \) is 200 volts. For the current, the peak value \( I_0 \) is 1 ampere. ### Step 2: Calculate the RMS values The RMS (Root Mean Square) values are calculated using the formula: - \( V_{rms} = \frac{E_0}{\sqrt{2}} \) - \( I_{rms} = \frac{I_0}{\sqrt{2}} \) Calculating these: - \( V_{rms} = \frac{200}{\sqrt{2}} = 100\sqrt{2} \) volts - \( I_{rms} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \) amperes ### Step 3: Determine the phase difference The phase difference \( \phi \) between the voltage and current is given as: - \( \phi = \frac{\pi}{3} \) ### Step 4: Calculate the average power The average power \( P \) consumed in an AC circuit is given by the formula: \[ P = V_{rms} \cdot I_{rms} \cdot \cos(\phi) \] Substituting the values we calculated: - \( P = \left(100\sqrt{2}\right) \cdot \left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right) \cdot \cos\left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right) \) ### Step 5: Calculate \( \cos\left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right) \) We know that: - \( \cos\left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right) = \frac{1}{2} \) ### Step 6: Substitute and simplify Now substituting this value back into the power equation: \[ P = 100\sqrt{2} \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \cdot \frac{1}{2} \] \[ P = 100 \cdot \frac{1}{2} = 50 \text{ watts} \] ### Final Answer The average power consumed in the circuit is \( 50 \) watts. ---
