Problem 4.142

A coil and an inductance-free resistance R=25ΩR=25 \Omega are connected in parallel to the ac mains. Find the heat power generated in the coil provided a current I=0.90 AI=0.90 \mathrm{~A} is drawn from the mains. The coil and the resistance RR carry currents I1=0.50 AI_{1}=0.50 \mathrm{~A} and I2=I_{2}= =0.60=0.60 A respectively.

Reveal Answer
P1=1/2(I2I12I22)2R=2.5 WP_{1}=1 / 2\left(I^{2}-I_{1}^{2}-I_{2}^{2}\right)^{2} R=2.5 \mathrm{~W}
