In an $A.C.$ circuit,the $e.m.f.$ $(\varepsilon)$ and the current $(i)$ at any instant are given respectively by $E = E_o \sin \omega t$ and $i = I_o \sin(\omega t - \phi)$. The average power in the circuit over one cycle of $A.C.$ is:

  • A
    $P = E_o I_o \cos \phi$
  • B
    $P = \frac{E_o I_o}{2} \cos \phi$
  • C
    $P = E_o I_o$
  • D
    $P = \frac{E_o I_o}{2} \sin \phi$
