Question

An alternating e.m.f. of angular frequency $ω$ is applied across an inductance. The instantaneous power developed in the circuit has an angular frequency

Moderate

A

$\frac{ω}{4}$
B

$\frac{ω}{2}$
C

$ω$
D

$2 ω$

Solution

The instantaneous values of emf and current in inductive circuit are given by $E = E_{0} sinωt$ and $i = i_{0} \sin (ωt - \frac{π}{2})$ respectively.
So, $P_{inst} = Ei = E_{0} sinωt \times i_{0} \sin (ωt - \frac{π}{2})$
$= E_{0} i_{0} sinωt (sinωtcos \frac{π}{2} - cosωtsin \frac{π}{2})$
$= E_{0} i_{0} sinωt cosωt$
$= \frac{1}{2} E_{0} i_{0} \sin 2 ωt$ $(\sin 2 ωt = 2 sinωt cosωt)$
Hence, angular frequency of instantaneous power is $2 ω$ .
