When a dcd c voltage of 100 V100 \mathrm{~V} is applied to an inductor, a dcd c current of 5 A5 \mathrm{~A} flows through it. When an ac voltage of 200 V200 \mathrm{~V} peak value is connected to inductor, its inductive reactance is found to be 203Ω20 \sqrt{3} \Omega . The power dissipated in the circuit is _________ W.

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

To determine the power dissipated in the circuit, follow these steps:

  1. Calculate the resistance (R) using the DC current:

R=100 V5 A=20 ΩR = \frac{100 \, \text{V}}{5 \, \text{A}} = 20 \, \Omega

  1. Determine the impedance (Z) by considering both resistance (R) and inductive reactance ( XLX_L ):

Z=R2+XL2=202+(203)2=40 ΩZ = \sqrt{R^2 + X_L^2} = \sqrt{20^2 + (20\sqrt{3})^2} = 40 \, \Omega

  1. Compute the peak current ( I0I_0 ) using the AC peak voltage ( V0V_0 ):

I0=V0Z=200 V40 Ω=5 AI_0 = \frac{V_0}{Z} = \frac{200 \, \text{V}}{40 \, \Omega} = 5 \, \text{A}

  1. Calculate the power (P) using the RMS values of voltage and current, and consider the phase angle ( cos⁡ϕ\cos \phi ):

P=Vrms⋅Irms⋅cos⁡ϕ=V0⋅I02×RZ=200⋅52×2040=250 WP = V_{\text{rms}} \cdot I_{\text{rms}} \cdot \cos \phi = \frac{V_0 \cdot I_0}{2} \times \frac{R}{Z} = \frac{200 \cdot 5}{2} \times \frac{20}{40} = 250 \, \text{W}
