In series LCR circuit, resistance is 18 and impedance 33 . An r.m.s. Voltage of 220 V is applied across the circuit. The true power consumed in a c. circuit is
Options
- A400 W
- B600 W
- C200 W
- D800 W
Correct answer
D. 800 W
Step-by-step solution
The true power consumed in an AC circuit is given by the formula: P = I_ rms ^2 R The rms current in the circuit is: I_ rms = V_ rms Z Substituting the given values V_ rms = 220 V and Z = 33 : I_ rms = 220 33 = 20 3 A Now, substituting I_ rms and R = 18 into the power formula: P = ( 20 3 )^2 18 P = 400 9 18 P = 800 W Answer: 800 W
