Q71 / 90 · JEE Main 2018 (08 Apr) · Physics

In an A.C. circuit, the instantaneous e.m.f. and current are given by, E=100sin30t,I=20sin30t-π4. In one cycle of A.C., the average power consumed by the circuit (in watt) and the watt-less current (in ampere) are, respectively:

  • A
    50, 0
  • B
    50, 10
  • Correct answer
    C
    10002, 10
  • D
    502, 0

Solution

Instantaneous emf and current is given by, E=100sin30t, I=20sin30t-π4.

Phase difference between emf and current is 

ϕ=30t-30t-π4=π4

Figure

Average power is given by,

 Pav=ErmsIrmscosϕ
=1002×202×12=10002



Watt-less current is given by, 

IWL=Irmssinϕ=Io√2sin45°⇒IWL=202.12=10 A.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
