In an $AC$ circuit,the $emf$ $(e)$ and the current $(i)$ at any instant are given respectively by:
$e = E_{0} \sin \omega t$
$i = I_{0} \sin (\omega t - \phi)$
The average power in the circuit over one cycle of $AC$ is:

  • A
    $\frac{E_{0} I_{0}}{2}$
  • B
    $\frac{E_{0} I_{0}}{2} \sin \phi$
  • C
    $\frac{E_{0} I_{0}}{2} \cos \phi$
  • D
    $E_{0} I_{0}$
