A coil having an inductance of 0.16 H0.16\text{ H} and a resistance of 12 Ω12\ \Omega is connected to an alternating voltage source given by V=2002sin⁡(100t)V = 200\sqrt{2} \sin(100 t), where VV is in volts and tt is in seconds. The peak current in the circuit and the average power dissipated by the coil are respectively:

Options

  1. A10 A10\text{ A} and 1200 W1200\text{ W}
  2. B102 A10\sqrt{2}\text{ A} and 1200 W1200\text{ W}
  3. C102 A10\sqrt{2}\text{ A} and 2400 W2400\text{ W}
  4. D102 A10\sqrt{2}\text{ A} and 2000 W2000\text{ W}

Correct answer

B. 102 A10\sqrt{2}\text{ A} and 1200 W1200\text{ W}

Step-by-step solution

The given alternating voltage is V=2002sin⁡(100t)V = 200\sqrt{2} \sin(100 t).

Comparing this with the standard equation V=V0sin⁡(ωt)V = V_0 \sin(\omega t), we get:
Peak voltage, V0=2002 VV_0 = 200\sqrt{2}\text{ V}
Angular frequency, ω=100 rad/s\omega = 100\text{ rad/s}

The inductive reactance XLX_L is given by:
XL=ωL=100×0.16=16 ΩX_L = \omega L = 100 \times 0.16 = 16\ \Omega

The impedance ZZ of the coil is:
Z=R2+XL2=122+162=144+256=400=20 ΩZ = \sqrt{R^2 + X_L^2} = \sqrt{12^2 + 16^2} = \sqrt{144 + 256} = \sqrt{400} = 20\ \Omega

The peak current I0I_0 in the circuit is:
I0=V0Z=200220=102 AI_0 = \dfrac{V_0}{Z} = \dfrac{200\sqrt{2}}{20} = 10\sqrt{2}\text{ A}

The RMS current IrmsI_{rms} is:
Irms=I02=1022=10 AI_{rms} = \dfrac{I_0}{\sqrt{2}} = \dfrac{10\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}} = 10\text{ A}

The average power dissipated by the coil is:
Pavg=Irms2R=(10)2×12=100×12=1200 WP_{avg} = I_{rms}^2 R = (10)^2 \times 12 = 100 \times 12 = 1200\text{ W}

Answer: 102 A10\sqrt{2}\text{ A} and 1200 W1200\text{ W}
