    Suppose the circuit in Exercise 7.18 has a resistance of 15 ``\Omega``. Obtain the average power transferred to each element of the circuit, and the total power absorbed.
    Ans : Average power transferred to the resistor = 788.44 W

    Average power transferred to the capacitor = 0 W

    Total power absorbed by the circuit = 788.44 W

    Inductance of inductor, L = 80 mH = 80 × 10-3 H

    Capacitance of capacitor, C = 60 μF = 60 × 10-6 F

    Resistance of resistor, R = 15 ``\Omega``

    Potential of voltage supply, V = 230 V

    Frequency of signal, ν = 50 Hz

    Angular frequency of signal, ω = 2``\pi``ν= 2``\pi`` × (50) = 100``\pi`` rad/s

    The elements are connected in series to each other. Hence, impedance of the circuit is given as:



    Current flowing in the circuit,

    Average power transferred to resistance is given as:

    PR= I2R

    = (7.25)2 × 15 = 788.44 W

    Average power transferred to capacitor, PC = Average power transferred to inductor, PL = 0

    Total power absorbed by the circuit:

    = PR + PC + PL

    = 788.44 + 0 + 0 = 788.44 W

    Hence, the total power absorbed by the circuit is 788.44 W.
