The potential difference $V$ and the current $I$ flowing through an instrument in an $AC$ circuit of frequency $f$ are given by $V = 5 \cos(\omega t)$ volts and $I = 2 \sin(\omega t)$ amperes (where $\omega = 2 \pi f$). The power dissipated in the instrument is......$W$

In an $A.C.$ circuit,the instantaneous values of $\text{e.m.f}.$ and current are $e = 10 \sin(50 \pi t) \text{ V}$ and $I = 10 \sin(50 \pi t + \frac{\pi}{3}) \text{ A}$. The average power consumed in the circuit is $... \text{ W}$.

An alternating voltage of $V = V_{0} \sin \omega t$ is applied across a circuit. As a result, a current $I = I_{0} \sin (\omega t - \frac{\pi}{2})$ flows in it. The power consumed per cycle is . . . . . . .
