JEE MAIN - Physics (2018 (Offline) - No. 4)

In an a.c. circuit, the instantaneous e.m.f. and current are given by
e = 100 sin 30 t
i = 20 sin $$\left( {30t - {\pi \over 4}} \right)$$
In one cycle of a.c., the average power consumed by the circuit and the wattless current are, respectively
50, 0
50, 10
$${{1000} \over {\sqrt 2 }},10$$
$${{50} \over {\sqrt 2 }}$$

Explanation

Wattless current,

here  $$\phi $$  is the angle between i and e.

Average power,

Pav = Vrms Irms cos$$\phi $$

= $${{100} \over {\sqrt 2 }} \times {{20} \over {\sqrt 2 }}$$ cos$${\pi \over 4}$$

= $${{1000} \over {\sqrt 2 }}$$ watt.
