(b) Inspection of the power waveform of fig 1.1 shows that its average value lies half way between zero and its peak valtie of Vay. That is P Since V (the magnitude of the rm. value of voltage) is Va/V2 and I (the magnitude Valle/2 of the rm.s vale of current) is Iq/V2, this can be written as P = VI. Thus, power (average power) to a purely resistive load is P = VI (watts). aay Example 1.1: Calculate the power dissipated by the circuit of fig 1.2 Solution 1= 100V oP Q=4A v= 100 x 400 1.1.2 Power in A.C Circuit Containing Inductance only For a purely inductive load as in fig 1.3(a), current lags voltage by 90°.
