Question : A sinusoidal voltage of peak value 283 V and frequency 50 Hz is applied to a series LCR circuit in which R=3Ω, L=25.48 mH and C=796 µF, then the power dissipated at the resonant condition will be
a) 39.70 kW
b) 26.70 kW
c) 13.35 kW
d) Zero.
Doubt by Tushar
Solution :
Vrms = 283 V
f = 50 Hz
R=3Ω,
L=25.48 mH
C=796 µF
Power dissipated in AC circuit
Pav = εrmsIrms cosΦ
At resonance, Φ=0
so cosΦ = 1
Pav = εrmsIrms
Pav = εrms(εrms/Z)
At resonance, Z = R
Pav = εrms(εrms/R)
Pav = ε2rms/R
Pav = (283)2/3
Pav = 80089/3
Pav = 26696.33 W
Pav =26696.33/1000 kW
Pav = 26.69633 kW
Pav = 26.70 kW
Hence, b) would be the correct option.
