Standard expression of voltage is given by, $V = V_{0} \sin (ω t)$ and for current is given by, $I = I_{0} \sin (ω t + ϕ)$ . Clearly, $ϕ$ is the phase difference here. From the given expression, $ϕ = \frac{π}{3}$ .

Average power dissipated in one cycle is given by,

$P_{a v g} = V_{r m s} I_{r m s} \cos (ϕ)$

$= \frac{100}{\sqrt{2}} \times \frac{100 \times 10^{- 3}}{\sqrt{2}} \times \cos (\frac{π}{3})$

$= \frac{10^{4}}{2} \times 10^{- 3} \times \frac{1}{2}$

$= \frac{10}{4} = 2.5 W$
