STANDARD Physics Power in AC Circuits MCQ Question
In an ac circuit, V and I are given by V = 150sin(150t)V and I = 150sin(150t + π/3) A. The power dissipated in the circuit is
106 W
150 W
5625 W
zero
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The power dissipated in an AC circuit is given by P = VIcosϕ, where ϕ is the phase difference between voltage and current. Here, ϕ = π/3, V = 150 V, and I = 150 A. Therefore, P = 150 × 150 × cos(π/3) = 5625 W.
