The correct Answer is:
To find the average power loss in the given AC circuit, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the given values The given EMF and current in the AC circuit are: - EMF: \( E = 10\sqrt{2} \sin(\omega t) \) volts - Current: \( I = 5\sqrt{2} \cos(\omega t) \) amperes ### Step 2: Calculate the RMS values The RMS (Root Mean Square) values for voltage and current can be calculated as follows: - For voltage: \[ E_{\text{rms}} = \frac{E_0}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{10\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}} = 10 \text{ volts} \] - For current: \[ I_{\text{rms}} = \frac{I_0}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{5\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}} = 5 \text{ amperes} \] ### Step 3: Determine the phase difference The phase difference \( \phi \) between the voltage and current can be determined from their sine and cosine forms: - The voltage is in the form of \( \sin(\omega t) \) and the current is in the form of \( \cos(\omega t) \). - We can express \( \sin(\omega t) \) as \( \cos(\omega t - \frac{\pi}{2}) \). This indicates that the current lags the voltage by \( \frac{\pi}{2} \). Thus, the phase difference \( \phi = \frac{\pi}{2} \). ### Step 4: Calculate the power factor The power factor \( \cos(\phi) \) can now be calculated: \[ \cos\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right) = 0 \] ### Step 5: Calculate the average power The average power \( P \) in an AC circuit is given by the formula: \[ P = I_{\text{rms}} \cdot E_{\text{rms}} \cdot \cos(\phi) \] Substituting the values we have: \[ P = 5 \cdot 10 \cdot 0 = 0 \text{ watts} \] ### Conclusion The average power loss in the circuit is \( 0 \text{ watts} \). ---
