In which of the two circuits does the resistor dissipate greater average power.
Answer to Problem 1CQ
In both the circuits the resistor dissipate same average power.
Explanation of Solution
Write the expression for average power in ac circuit.
Here,
From equation (I), it is very clear that the average power is independent of frequency and both the resistors are connected to the same
Conclusion:
Therefore, in both the circuits the resistor dissipate same average power.
