A resistance draws power when connected to an AC source. If an inductance is now placed in series with the resistance, such that the impedance of the circuit becomes the power drawn will be
To solve this problem, we need to understand how power is affected when an inductance is added in series with a resistance in an AC circuit.Given:• Resistance draws power when connected to an AC source.• Impedance of the circuit becomes when an inductance is added.The power drawn by a purely resistive AC circuit is given by:Where is the current through the circuit.When an inductance is added, the impedance of the circuit is given by:Where is the inductive reactance.The current in the circuit with impedance is:The power factor of the circuit is which is the ratio of resistance to impedance.The power drawn by the circuit with impedance is:Since we can express as Substitute into the expression for Therefore, the power drawn when an inductance is added is This corresponds to Option 4.
