Suppose the circuit in Exercise 18 has a resistance of 15Ω. Obtain the average power transferred to each element of the circuit, and the total power absorbed.

Given: Average power transferred to the resistor = 788.44 W

Average power transferred to the capacitor = 0 W


Power absorbed by the circuit = 788.44 W


Inductance L = 80 mH


In henry, Inductance L = 80 × 10-3H


Capacitance C = 60 μF = 60 × 10-6F


Resistance R = 15 Ω


Voltage V = 230 V


Frequency v = 50 Hz


Angular frequency is calculated as follows:


ω = 2πv


ω = 2 × 3.14 × 50(Hz) = 100π rad/s


The impedance can be calculated as follows:




On calculating, we get


Z = 31.728 Ω


Current can be calculated as follows: I = V/Z


I = 230 (A)/31.728 (Ω) = 7.25 A


The average power transferred to resistor can be calculated as follows:


Pr = I2R


Substituting values, we get


Pr = (7.25)2(A) × 15(Ω)


Pr = 788.44 W


The average power transferred to capacitor is equal to the average power transferred to resistor = 0


Total power absorbed = PR + Pc + PL = 788.4W
