A circuit element consists of a resistor with value 20Ω and inductor with value 10mH connected in series. A voltage of LaTeX: v(t)=20\cos(1000t+45^{\circ})\text{ V}v ( t ) = 20 cos ⁡ ( 1000 t + 45 ∘ ) V is applied across the circuit element. What is the apparent power of the circuit element? Answer in units of VA while omitting the unit. Hint: calculate the current first.

8.97 Watt

Explanation:

Resistance, R = 20 ohm

Inductance, L = 10 mH

V(t) = 20 Cos (1000 t + 45°)

Compare with the standard equation

V(t) = Vo Cos(ωt + Ф)

Ф = 45°

ω = 1000 rad/s

Vo = 20 V

Inductive reactance, XL = ωL = 1000 x 0.01 = 10 ohm

impedance is Z.

Z = 22.36 ohm

Apparent power is given by

P = Vrms x Irms

P = 14.144 x 0.634

P = 8.97 Watt

increases it

the answer is 12 as i may remember
