Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Answer to Problem 1FC

The correct option is (d). The average power increases by a factor 32 = 9 because it proportional to the square of the rms voltage.

Explanation of Solution

Given data:

A circuit contains an ac generator and a resistor.

Frequency is doubled and the rms voltage tripled.

Formula used:

Write the expression for average power delivered.

P¯=Vrms2R (1)

Here,

Vrms is the root mean square (rms) voltage across the resistor, and

R is the resistance.

Explanation:

In general, the value of resistance is independent of frequency of AC generator. Therefore, average power of the circuit with resistance is independent of frequency.

Substitute 3Vrms for Vrms in equation (1),

P¯=(3Vrms)2R=9Vrms2R

Therefore, by doubling the frequency and tripling the rms voltage, the average power increases by a factor 9 that is option (d) is correct and remaining options (a), (b), (c) and (e) are in correct.

Conclusion:

Hence, the correct option is (d). The average power increases by a factor 32 = 9 because it proportional to the square of the rms voltage.
