NEET Physics Power in AC Circuits MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-diagram based-Hard-Class 12

Consider a phasor diagram where a resistor of 100 Ω is connected to an AC source of 220 V, 50 Hz. Which of the following represents the correct calculation for the net power consumed over a complete cycle in this circuit?

Question diagram
A

P = V_rms^2 / R

B

P = V_peak^2 / R

C

P = I_rms^2 * R

D

P = I_peak^2 * R

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The net power consumed over a complete cycle in an AC circuit is given by the formula P = V_rms^2 / R, which uses the root mean square (rms) values. This is derived from the average power formula for AC circuits in the NCERT context.
