The average power absorbed by an impedance Z = 30 – j 70 Ω when a voltage V = 120∠0° is applied is _____________(a) 35(b) 37.24(c) 45(d) 50.25This question was addressed to me during an online interview.Origin of the question is Advanced Problems on Magnetically Coupled Circuits topic in chapter Resonance & Magnetically Coupled Circuit of Network Theory |
Answer» RIGHT choice is (b) 37.24 To explain: The current through the impedance is given by, I = \(\FRAC{V}{Z} = \frac{120∠0°}{30-j70}\) = \(\frac{120∠0°}{76.16∠-66.8°}\) = 1.576∠66.8° A The average power is, P = 0.5VmImcos (θv – θi) = 0.5(120) (1.576) cos (0 – 66.8°) = 37.24 W. |
