You connect a clamp-on ammeter and a voltmeter to a series RL circuit powered by a 60-Hz circuit. The voltage reads 120 V and the current is 0.715 A. The resistor is 150 Ω . What is the true power?
A) 65.8 W
B) 76.68 W
C) 86 W
D) 167.83 W
True Power
The actual power in watts consumed or produced by an electrical device, distinct from reactive or apparent power.
Series RL Circuit
A series RL circuit is an electrical circuit comprising a resistor (R) and an inductor (L) connected in series, used to filter signals or store energy.
Clamp-On Ammeter
An ammeter that has a movable jaw that can be clamped around a conductor.
