Question 140

Multiple Choice

Solve the problem.
-The power dissipated in an electric circuit is given by the expression P=RI2\mathrm { P } = \mathrm { RI } ^ { 2 } , where R\mathrm { R } is the resistance of the circuit and I\mathrm { I } is the current through the circuit. For a sinusoidal alternating current, the current might be represented by the relation I=Asin(2πft) \mathrm { I } = \mathrm { A } \sin ( 2 \pi \mathrm { ft } ) , where A\mathrm { A } is the amplitude, f\mathrm { f } is the frequency, and tt is time. Write an expression for P involving the sine function, and use a fundamental identity to write PP in terms of the cosine function.


A) P=RAsin2(2πft) ;P=RARAcos2(2πft) P = R A \sin ^ { 2 } ( 2 \pi f \mathrm { t } ) ; \mathrm { P } = \mathrm { RA } - \mathrm { RA } \cos ^ { 2 } ( 2 \pi \mathrm { ft } )
B) P=RA2sin2(2πft) ;P=RA2cos2(2πft) P = R A ^ { 2 } \sin ^ { 2 } ( 2 \pi f t ) ; P = - R A ^ { 2 } \cos ^ { 2 } ( 2 \pi f t )
C) P=RAsin2(2πfft) ;P=RAcos2(2πft) P = R A \sin ^ { 2 } ( 2 \pi f \mathrm { ft } ) ; \mathrm { P } = \mathrm { RA } - \cos ^ { 2 } ( 2 \pi \mathrm { ft } )
D) P=RA2sin2(2πft) ;P=RA2RA2cos2(2πft) P = R A ^ { 2 } \sin ^ { 2 } ( 2 \pi f t ) ; P = R A ^ { 2 } - R A ^ { 2 } \cos ^ { 2 } ( 2 \pi f t )
