The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the average power consumed by the circuit and the wattless current using the given instantaneous e.m.f. and current equations. ### Step 1: Identify the given equations The instantaneous e.m.f. and current are given as: - \( e = 100 \sin(30t) \) - \( i = 20 \sin(30t - \frac{\pi}{4}) \) ### Step 2: Determine the peak values From the equations, we can identify the peak values: - The peak e.m.f. \( E_0 = 100 \, \text{V} \) - The peak current \( I_0 = 20 \, \text{A} \) ### Step 3: Calculate the RMS values The RMS (Root Mean Square) values are calculated using the formula: \[ V_{\text{rms}} = \frac{E_0}{\sqrt{2}} \quad \text{and} \quad I_{\text{rms}} = \frac{I_0}{\sqrt{2}} \] Calculating these: \[ V_{\text{rms}} = \frac{100}{\sqrt{2}} = 50\sqrt{2} \, \text{V} \] \[ I_{\text{rms}} = \frac{20}{\sqrt{2}} = 10\sqrt{2} \, \text{A} \] ### Step 4: Determine the phase difference The phase difference \( \phi \) can be determined from the current equation: \[ i = 20 \sin(30t - \frac{\pi}{4}) \] This indicates that \( \phi = \frac{\pi}{4} \). ### Step 5: Calculate the average power consumed The average power \( P_{\text{avg}} \) in an AC circuit is given by: \[ P_{\text{avg}} = V_{\text{rms}} \cdot I_{\text{rms}} \cdot \cos(\phi) \] Substituting the values: \[ P_{\text{avg}} = \left(50\sqrt{2}\right) \cdot \left(10\sqrt{2}\right) \cdot \cos\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) \] We know \( \cos\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \): \[ P_{\text{avg}} = (50\sqrt{2}) \cdot (10\sqrt{2}) \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} = 1000 \, \text{W} \] ### Step 6: Calculate the wattless current The wattless current \( I_w \) is given by: \[ I_w = I_{\text{rms}} \cdot \sin(\phi) \] Substituting the values: \[ I_w = (10\sqrt{2}) \cdot \sin\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) \] We know \( \sin\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \): \[ I_w = (10\sqrt{2}) \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} = 10 \, \text{A} \] ### Final Results Thus, the average power consumed by the circuit is \( 1000 \, \text{W} \) and the wattless current is \( 10 \, \text{A} \).
