Question

I am not sure which equation I am supposed to use to find the current amplitude. I had I=sq rt (2 x .34A) My professor said to check the equation. He also said that the .34A should not be under the square root sign

Find the average power delivered to the entire circuit. I am supposed to use the equation: average power=IrmsVrms cos(theta)=1/2 VI cos theta. I got 1.2 W but it's wrong.

The second question is: What is the average power delivered to the resistor? The answer is supposed to be .370 W

The third is: What is the average power delivered to the capacitor? The answer is also .370 W

Explanation / Answer

given that

current drqwn by a computer scanner I = 0.340A

voltage = V = 120v

frequency f = 60Hz

--------------------------------------


    the power in the scanner P = VI

                                      = 40.8W

resistance in the scanner R = V/I

                                           = 352.9?

(a)

root mean square current Irms = ?P/R

                                                      = 0.34A

(b)

  max current I max = Irms * ?2

                               = 0.480A

(c)

  average current Iavg = 0.6366 * Imax

                                = 0.3055A

(d)

average square current = ( Irms)2

                                    = 0.1156A
