Power in AC Circuits: Practice Problem & Solution

Short Solution (Best for NEET):

To solve this problem, we apply the core principles of Power in AC Circuits. Understanding the underlying formula is key to arriving at the correct answer below:

Average power dissipated in an AC circuit is given by \(P_{avg} = V_{rms} I_{rms} \cos \phi = I_{rms}^2 R\). Perfect inductor and capacitor have phase angle \(90^\circ\), resulting in zero power consumption.
