Calculate the active power in a 17 ω resistor with 18 A current flowing through it.(a) 5508 W(b) 5104 W(c) 5554 W(d) 5558 WI got this question during an interview for a job.The query is from DC Motors in division Characteristics of DC & AC Motors of Electric Drives

Answer»

Correct ANSWER is (a) 5508 W

For explanation I would SAY: The resistor is a linear element. It only absorbs real power and dissipates it in the form of heat. The voltage and current are in the same phase in case of the resistor so the ANGLE between V & I is 0°. P=I^2R=18×18×17=5508 W.
