When a dc voltage of 100 V is applied to an inductor, a dc current of 5 A flows through it. When an ac voltage of 200 V peak value is connected to inductor, its inductive reactance is found to be 20 3 . The power dissipated in the circuit is W.
Answer
250
Solution
dc: XL = 0 R = 1005 = 20
ac: Z = R2 + XL2 = 400 + 1200 = 40
P = Irms2R = Vrms2Z2R, Vrms = 200 2
= 200001600 20 = 250 W
Answer: 250
