Problem 4.142

A coil and an inductance-free resistance \(R=25 \Omega\) are connected in parallel to the ac mains. Find the heat power generated in the coil provided a current \(I=0.90 \mathrm{~A}\) is drawn from the mains. The coil and the resistance \(R\) carry currents \(I_{1}=0.50 \mathrm{~A}\) and \(I_{2}=\) \(=0.60\) A respectively.
