Solution

The correct option is D 2.5W
Comparing the given e.m.f equation with e=eosinwt
We get peak value of e.m.f eo=100 volt
Thus r.m.s value of e.m.f erms=eo2=1002
Similarly, on comparing the given current equation with i=iosin(wt+ϕ)
We get peak value of current io=100 mA
Thus r.m.s value of current irms=io2=1002 mA
Also we get ϕ=π3
Thus average power dissipated <P>=ermsirmscosϕ
<P>=1002.1002×103.12
<P>=2.5W
