Question

An RLC series circuit has an applied voltage of 277 volts. The current through the resistor is 3.5 A. What is the apparent power of the circuit

Answer 1

the apparent power of the circuit is 969.5 VA.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Applied voltage, E = 277 V

current flowing in the circuit, I = 3.5 A

Apparent occurs when the applied voltage and current are out of phase because of reactance. This apparent power of the circuit is calculated as;

`P = EI\\\\P= 277 \ * \ 3.5 \\\\P = 969.5 \ VA`

Therefore, the apparent power of the circuit is 969.5 VA.
