NEET2008PhysicsAlternating CurrentActual
In an A C circuit the emf (e) and the current (i) at any instant are given respectively by e=E₀ ti=I₀ ( t- ) The average power in the circuit over one cycle of AC is
Options
- AE₀ I₀ 2
- BE₀ I₀ 2
- CE₀ I₀ 2
- DE₀ I₀
Correct answer
C. E₀ I₀ 2
Step-by-step solution
Key Idea: The power is defined as the rate at which work is being done in the circuit. Power = rate of work done in one complete cycle. aligned & P_ a = W T & P_ a = (E₀ I₀ ) T / 2 T & P_ a = E₀ I₀ 2 aligned where is called the power factor of an AC circuit.
