Given,
Emf E = 5 cos wt volts
Current I = 2 sin wt amperes
To find: Average power dissipated in the circuit
Formula used: The average power P_avg in an AC circuit is given by P_avg = E_eff x I_eff x cos ϕ, where E_eff and I_eff are the effective or RMS values of voltage and current respectively and ϕ is the phase difference between them.
1. Calculating the effective values of voltage and current
The effective or RMS value of a sinusoidal waveform is given by the formula: V_eff = V_m/√2, where V_m is the maximum value of the voltage or current.
Here,
Maximum value of voltage V_m = 5 volts
Maximum value of current I_m = 2 amperes
Therefore,
Effective value of voltage E_eff = V_m/√2 = 5/√2 volts
Effective value of current I_eff = I_m/√2 = 2/√2 amperes
2. Calculating the phase difference between voltage and current
The phase difference ϕ between voltage and current can be calculated using the formula: ϕ = θ_v - θ_i, where θ_v and θ_i are the phase angles of voltage and current respectively.
Here,
θ_v = 0 degrees (since voltage waveform is a cosine function)
θ_i = -90 degrees (since current waveform is a sine function)
Therefore,
ϕ = θ_v - θ_i = 0 - (-90) = 90 degrees
3. Calculating the average power dissipated
Using the formula P_avg = E_eff x I_eff x cos ϕ, we get
P_avg = (5/√2) x (2/√2) x cos 90 degrees
P_avg = 0 Watt (since cos 90 degrees = 0)
Hence, the average power dissipated in the circuit is zero.
