An inductor 20mH, a capacitor 50 μF and a resistor 40 Ω are connected in series across a source of emf V=10 sin 340 t. The power loss in AC . circuit is:
  1. 0.51W
  2. 0.67W
  3. 0.76W
  4. 0.89W

Solution

Given : R=40Ω , L= 20 mH , C=50 μF

Comparing the given equation for voltage with general equation V=V0 sin ωt

ω=340 rad s-1        and                           peak voltage   V0=10 V

Inductive reactance XLωL=340×20×10-3=68×10-1=6.8 Ω
Capacitive reactance XC
1ωC=1340×50×10-6=10434×5=234×103
=0.0588×103=58.82 Ω
  Z=XL-XC2+R2⇒Z=ωL-1ωC2+R2
  Z=58.8-6.82+402      ⇒  Z=2704+160065.6 Ω
Irms=VrmsZ=1065.6×2                   (Vrms=V02)
Power =ErmsIrms cos ϕ=Irms2R 

cos ϕ=RZ, Vrms=IrmsZ

=100×4065.62×2=200065.62
=0.51 W
