Q.

When a DC voltage of 100 V is applied to an inductor, a DC current of 5 A flows through it. When an AC voltage of 200 V peak value is connected to the inductor, its inductive reactance is found to be 203Ω. The power dissipated in the circuit is ______ W.          [2024]


Ans.

(250)

For DC voltage,  R=Vi=1005=20 Ω

For AC voltage,  XL=203 Ω,  R=20 Ω

Z=XL2+R2=3×400+400=40 Ω

Power dissipated,  P=irmsVrmscosϕ

P=Vrms2Z·cosϕ=(2002)240×12=2×1000040×12P=250 W
