Question:

In Exercises 7.3 and 7.4, what is the net power absorbed by each circuit over a complete cycle. Explain your answer.

Solution:

In the inductive circuit,

Rms value of current, I = 15.92 A

Rms value of voltage, V = 220 V

Hence, the net power absorbed can be obtained by the relation,

P = VI cos Φ

Where,

Φ = Phase difference between V and I

For a pure inductive circuit, the phase difference between alternating voltage and current is 90° i.e., Φ= 90°.

Hence, P = 0 i.e., the net power is zero.

In the capacitive circuit,

Rms value of current, I = 2.49 A

Rms value of voltage, V = 110 V

Hence, the net power absorbed can ve obtained as:

P = VI Cos Φ

For a pure capacitive circuit, the phase difference between alternating voltage and current is 90° i.e., Φ= 90°.

Hence, P = 0 i.e., the net power is zero.
