An ac generator has a frequency of 1200 Hz and a constant rms voltage. When a 470-V resistor is connected between the terminals of the generator, an average power of 0.25 W is consumed by the resistor. Then, a 0.080-H inductor is connected in series with the resistor, and the combination is connected between the generator terminals.

Concepts: (i) In which case does the generator deliver a greater rms current? (ii) In which case is the greater average power consumed by the circuit? Calculations: What is the average power consumed in the inductor-resistor series circuit?
