An e.m.f. $E=E_0 \cos \omega t$ is applied to circuit containing $L$ and $R$ in series. If $X_L=2 R$, then the power dissipated in the circuit is
  1. $\frac{E_o{ }^2}{12 R}$
  2. $\frac{\mathrm{E}_0{ }^2}{10 \mathrm{R}}$
  3. $\frac{\mathrm{E}_0{ }^2}{8 \mathrm{R}}$
  4. $\frac{E_0{ }^2}{6 R}$

Solution

Impedance in the circuit is given by, $\begin{aligned} Z^2= & R^2+X_L^2=R^2+(2 R)^2=5 R^2 \\ P= & \frac{E_0}{\sqrt{2}} \times \frac{I_0}{\sqrt{2}} \cos \theta \\ & =\frac{E_0}{\sqrt{2}} \times \frac{E_0}{\sqrt{2} Z} \times \frac{R}{Z} \\ & =\frac{E_0^2 R}{2 Z^2} \\ & =\frac{E_0^2 R}{10 R^2} \\ & =\frac{E_0^2}{10 R} \end{aligned} \quad \ldots\left(\because Z^2=5 R^2\right)$
