Correct answer: D

  1. Write the given voltage and current

    V=20sin⁡(200πt)V = 20\sin(200\pi t)V=20sin(200πt) I=10sin⁡(200πt+π3)I = 10\sin\left(200\pi t + \frac{\pi}{3}\right)I=10sin(200πt+3π​)

    So,

    • Voltage amplitude: V0=20 VV_0 = 20\,\text{V}V0​=20V
    • Current amplitude: I0=10 AI_0 = 10\,\text{A}I0​=10A
    • Phase difference: ϕ=π3\phi = \frac{\pi}{3}ϕ=3π​

    Since current leads voltage by π3\frac{\pi}{3}3π​, the power factor is cos⁡ϕ=cos⁡π3=12\cos\phi = \cos\frac{\pi}{3} = \frac{1}{2}cosϕ=cos3π​=21​

  2. Use the average power formula in AC

    Average power dissipated is Pavg=VrmsIrmscos⁡ϕP_{\text{avg}} = V_{\text{rms}} I_{\text{rms}} \cos\phiPavg​=Vrms​Irms​cosϕ

    where Vrms=V02=202V_{\text{rms}} = \frac{V_0}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{20}{\sqrt{2}}Vrms​=2​V0​​=2​20​ Irms=I02=102I_{\text{rms}} = \frac{I_0}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{10}{\sqrt{2}}Irms​=2​I0​​=2​10​

  3. Substitute the values

    Pavg=(202)(102)(12)P_{\text{avg}} = \left(\frac{20}{\sqrt{2}}\right)\left(\frac{10}{\sqrt{2}}\right)\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)Pavg​=(2​20​)(2​10​)(21​)

    Pavg=20×102×12P_{\text{avg}} = \frac{20\times 10}{2}\times \frac{1}{2}Pavg​=220×10​×21​

    Pavg=100×12=50 WP_{\text{avg}} = 100 \times \frac{1}{2} = 50\,\text{W}Pavg​=100×21​=50W

  4. Check options

    • A: 21.6 W21.6\,\text{W}21.6W ❌
    • B: 200 W200\,\text{W}200W ❌
    • C: 173.2 W173.2\,\text{W}173.2W ❌
    • D: 50 W50\,\text{W}50W ✅
  5. Conclusion

    The average power dissipated is 50 W\boxed{50\,\text{W}}50W​
