JEE MAIN - Physics (2024 - 29th January Evening Shift - No. 13)

In an a.c. circuit, voltage and current are given by:

$$V=100 \sin (100 t) V$$ and $$I=100 \sin \left(100 t+\frac{\pi}{3}\right) \mathrm{mA}$$ respectively.

The average power dissipated in one cycle is:

5 W
25 W
2.5 W
10 W

Explanation

$$\begin{aligned} & P_{\text {avg }}=V_{\text {rms }} I_{r m s} \cos (\Delta \phi) \\ & =\frac{100}{\sqrt{2}} \times \frac{100 \times 10^{-3}}{\sqrt{2}} \times \cos \left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right) \\ & =\frac{10^4}{2} \times \frac{1}{2} \times 10^{-3} \\ & =\frac{10}{4}=2.5 \mathrm{~W} \end{aligned}$$
