Physics-AC Voltage

NEET Physics AC Voltage MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Hard-Class 12

In an AC circuit, the source voltage is given by V = 220 V. The current I = 0.755 A, and the impedance Z = 291.5 Ω. If the power factor cosφ is 0.95, what is the average power consumed in the circuit?

A

157.5 W

B

160.3 W

C

162.5 W

D

165.5 W

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The average power consumed is given by P = I V cosφ = 0.755 A × 220 V × 0.95 = 157.5 W. This calculation uses the formula for average power in an AC circuit as provided in the NCERT context.
