COMEDK2024PhysicsAlternating CurrentActual
A group of devices having a total power rating of 500 watt is supplied by an AC voltage E = 200 (3.14t + 4 ) . Assuming the current in the circuit is of the form I = I₀ (3.14t) , the r.m.s. value of the circuit current is
Options
- A500 A
- B200 A
- C1 A
- D5 A
Correct answer
D. 5 A
Step-by-step solution
E₀ = 200 V, so E_ rms = 200 2 V Phase difference between voltage and current = 4 Power factor = 4 = 1 2 P = E_ rms I_ rms 500 = 200 2 I_ rms 1 2 = 200 2 I_ rms = 100 I_ rms I_ rms = 500 100 = 5 A
