NEET Physics Power in AC Circuits MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 12

A series RLC circuit is connected to an AC source with a peak voltage of 300 V. If the impedance Z of the circuit is 150 Ω and the phase angle φ is 30°, what is the average power consumed by the circuit?

A

300 W

B

325 W

C

450 W

D

600 W

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The average power is given by P = V_rms * I_rms * cos(φ). Here, V_rms = V_m/√2 = 300/√2 V and I_rms = V_rms/Z = (300/√2)/150 A. Therefore, P = (300/√2) * ((300/√2)/150) * cos(30°) = 300 W.
