Question

A \( 100 \, \Omega \) resistor is connected to a \( 220 \, \text{V} \), \( 50 \, \text{Hz} \) AC
supply. What is the average power consumed?

Explanation

**Average power** in resistor P_avg = V_rms I_rms = V_rms²/R = I_rms² R, for 254.6 V peak, V_rms =180 V, R=90 Ω, P=180²/90=360 W, for 226.3 V peak, V_rms=160 V, R=80 Ω, P=320 W, illustrating rms use for power. Average power: P = I² R , where I = (V/R) . I = (220/100) = 2.2 A . P = (2.2)² × 100 = 4.84 × 100 = 484 W . Applying X_L = ωL, X_C = 1/ωC, Z = √(R² + (X_L - X_C)²), I_rms = V_rms/Z, P = V_rms I_rms cosφ, V_s/V_p = N_s/N_p, calculation gives 484 W, consistent with phasor analysis and resonance condition X_L = X_C.
