    In an AC circuit the potential difference and current are represented respectively by V=100 sin (100t) volt,\[I=100\sin \left( 100t+\frac{\pi }{3} \right)\]milliampere. The power in the circuit is

    A)  2.5 W   

    B)                                         5 W

    C)  10 W                    

    D)         104 W

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Given,\[V=100\,\,\sin \,\,100t\]                 \[i=100\,\,\sin \left( 100t+\frac{\pi }{3} \right)\] Comparing with standard forms                 \[V={{V}_{0}}\sin \omega t\]                 \[I={{I}_{0}}\sin (\omega t+\phi )\] \[\therefore \]  \[{{V}_{0}}=100\,\,V\]                 \[{{I}_{0}}=100\,\,mA=100\times {{10}^{-3}}A\]                 \[\phi =\frac{\pi }{3}\] Power   \[P=\frac{{{V}_{0}}{{I}_{0}}}{2}\cos \phi \] \[\therefore \] \[P=\frac{100\times 100\times {{10}^{-3}}}{2}\cos \frac{\pi }{2}=2.5\,\,W\]
