A) $ P{{( \frac{R}{Z} )}^{2}} $

B) $ P\sqrt{\frac{R}{Z}} $

C) $ P( \frac{R}{Z} ) $

D) P

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

  • When a resistor is connected to an AC source. The power drawn will be $ p=V _{rms}/I _{rms}=V _{rms}.\frac{V _{rms}}{R} $
    $ \Rightarrow ,V_rms^{2}=PR $ When an inductor is connected in series with the resistor, then the power drawn will be $ P’=V _{rms}.I _{rms}\cos \phi $ where, $ \phi $ = phase difference
    $ \therefore $ $ P’=\frac{V_rms^{2}}{R}.\frac{R^{2}}{Z^{2}}=p.R.\frac{R}{Z^{2}} $
    $ \Rightarrow ,p’=\frac{p.R^{2}}{Z^{2}}=P{{( \frac{R}{Z} )}^{2}} $
