Electro Magnetic Induction And Alternating Currents Question 183

Question: A resistor and an inductor are connected to an ac supply of 120 V and 50 Hz. The current in the circuit is 3 A. If the power consumed in the circuit is 108 W, then the resistance in the circuit is

Options:

A) 12,Ω

B) 40,Ω

C) (52×25)Ω

D) 360,Ω

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

  • In an ac circuit, a pure indcutor does not consume any power. Therefore, power is consumed by the resistor only.
    ,P=Iv2R or 108=(3)2R or R=12Ω
