In an $$AC$$ circuit with voltage $$V$$ and current $$i$$ the power dissipated is
A.
Depends on the phase between $$V$$ and $$i$$
B.
$$\frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }}Vi$$
C.
$$\frac{1}{2}Vi$$
D.
$$Vi$$
Answer :
Depends on the phase between $$V$$ and $$i$$
Solution :
In an $$AC$$ circuit with voltage $$V$$ and current $$i,$$ the power dissipated is given by
$$P = Vi\cos \phi $$
where, $$\phi $$ is the phase and $$\cos \phi $$ is the power factor. Thus, the power dissipated, depends upon the phase between voltage $$V$$ and current $$i.$$

When an $$AC$$ source of emf $$e = {E_0}\sin \left( {100t} \right)$$ is connected across a circuit, the phase difference between the emf $$e$$ and the current $$i$$ in the circuit is observed to be $$\frac{\pi }{4},$$ as shown in the diagram. If the circuit consists possibly only of $$R - C$$ or $$R - L$$ or $$L - C$$ in series, find the relationship between the two elements
An $$AC$$ voltage source of variable angular frequency $$\omega $$ and fixed amplitude $${V_0}$$ is connected in series with a capacitance $$C$$ and an electric bulb of resistance $$R$$ (inductance zero). When $$\omega $$ is increase
