The instantaneous values of alternating current and voltages in a circuit are given as
The average power in Watts consumed in the circuit is
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
D.
Step-by-step solution
Given equations
and and
We know that average power
\begin{aligned}
& P_{\mathrm{av}}=V_{\mathrm{rms}} \times i_{\mathrm{rms}} \cos \phi \\
&=\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{2} \times \cos 60^{\circ} \\
& \qquad\left[\because i_{\mathrm{rms}}=\frac{i_o}{\sqrt{2}} \text{ and } V_{\mathrm{rms}}=\frac{V_o}{\sqrt{2}}\right] \\
&=\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{2} \\
&=\frac{1}{8} \mathrm{~W}
