Alternating Current - Result Question 16

16. A resistance ’ R ’ draws power ’ P ’ when connected to an AC source. If an inductance is now placed in series with the resistance, such that the impedance of the circuit becomes ’ Z ‘, the power drawn will be

(a) PRZ

(b) P(RZ)

(c) P

(d) P(RZ)2

Answer:

Correct Answer: 16. (d)

Solution:

  1. (d)

Pure resistor L-R series circuit

Phasor diagram

For pure resistor circuit, power

P=V2RV2=PR

For L-R series circuit, power

P1=V2Zcosθ=V2ZRZ=PRZ2R=P(RZ)2
