JEE MainPhysicsAlternating CurrentMCQ+4 / −1
In an a.c. circuit, the instantaneous e.m.f. and current are given by e = 100 sin 30 t i = 20 sin In one cycle of a.c., the average power consumed by the circuit and the wattless current are, respectively
- A50, 0
- B50, 10
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: C
- Given instantaneous voltage and current
So,
- Peak voltage:
- Peak current:
- Phase difference:
The current lags the voltage by .
- Find rms values
- Average power consumed
For an a.c. circuit,
Substitute the values:
- Wattless current
Wattless current is the reactive component of current:
So,
- Final answer
The average power consumed and wattless current are
So the correct option is C.
