A resistance 'R' draws a power 'P' when connected to A.C. source. If an inductor is now placed in series with the resistance, such that the impedance of the circuit becomes 'Z', the power drawn is . The ratio of is
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
A.
Step-by-step solution
Let the RMS voltage of the AC source be .
When only resistance is connected, the power drawn is .
When an inductor is connected in series, the impedance becomes . The RMS current in the circuit is .
The power drawn in the L-R circuit is .
The ratio of the powers is \left(\dfrac{R}{Z}\right)^2$.
Answer: \left(\dfrac{R}{Z}\right)^2
