 AC POWER ANALYSIS
 11.1 Introduction to AC Power Analysis

 11.2 Instantaneous and Average Power

 Electric power
• Electric power is the rate at which electrical
energy is transferred by an electric circuit.

• The SI unit of power is the watt,

one joule persecond.
Average Power
 Average Power

The second integrand is a sinusoid. We know that the average of

a sinusoid over its period is zero because the area under the
sinusoid during a positive half-cycle is canceled by the area
under it during the following negative half-cycle.

Thus, the second term in Eq. (11.7) vanishes and the average
power becomes

 Practice problem 11.3
Calculate the average power absorbed by the
resistor and inductor. Find the average power
supplied by the voltage source.
 Example 11.4
• Determine the average power generated by
each source and the average power absorbed
by each passive element in the circuit of Fig.
11.5(a).
